The first book made from online class

Well, I started a class online with Nik the Booksmith on Teachable and have enjoyed every minute of it. this is my first book. I've made a couple more and actually sold a custom order last month, which was so great.

It is filled with tea stained papers and some embellishments, I have tried to stick with a musketeers theme. I was so thrilled with the result.

Finally blogging again,

It has been ages since my last blog post,  I've spent quite a lot of time down the you Tube rabbit hole gaining inspiration from some amazing artists and finding online classes.
I have also been spending some time trying to get through the mountain of supplies in my studio so as not to purchase more. Plus I have rediscovered my love of handmade books.

This is one of my latest book orders, the design is a vegvisir, which is a Viking compass.

I had a lot of fun making this one.

It is filled with tea stained papers for journalling in. Also some stitched pockets to pop in some tags etc.

These three viking inspired covers prompted the custom order, I still have to fill them up with pages and embellishments, but they will be finished soon.
