I’m just finishing up the first session of my four week Introduction to Handmade Books class, and it’s been so much fun. I’ve had 4 students and I want to showcase just a few pieces of their fantastic work here.
This is a double-pamphlet stitched book with an original watercolor painting on the cover by Gerry:

Here’s a flag book made with marbled paper by Gwen:

Two accordion books with small canvas covers by Carla:
Gerry’s watercolored flag book:


Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, Ali! How kind of you to write us on your big day! xx
Awe – you should know we’d give you a pass, even if it wasn’t your birthday. 🙂 Hope it was a great one, and my – what lovely books your students made!
Some lovely ideas. I’ve never really known what to do with an accordion book, though they look fun to make, I love Carla’s idea to place tags in what looks like slots made from folded paperstock. It would make a lovely Birthday book.
