Journals,a new toy and Houston

I put the finishing touches on these three textured surface journals over the weekend:They're now over at the shop at the Danforth Museum. I"m working on a stack of these for the Etsy shop too but they won't be ready until after I get back from Houston. Speaking of Houston, I'll be there on [...]

Teaching at the Danforth Museum of Art!

Well I just couldn't be any more excited about this announcement: I am going to be teaching some classes at the Danforth Museum of Art starting in January!

I'll be teaching a Creative Books and Journals class that will run for 10 weeks and a Fabric Dyeing and Painting class that will run for [...]

Artists Journals

I've been playing with this technique for creating books for a while now and I am really pleased with the way it works. A combination of cheesecloth,tissue paper and paint it creates a nice flexible hinge for the covers to move and the texture on the surface is really fabulous. 

This first one [...]

Making boxes…

You'll remember that I mentioned that I was working on developing a box making for the fiber artist class. Well I also want to create a paper and book board box making class as well. I am finding though that making boxes with paper and book board is not quite as easy or forgiving as [...]

Some new fabric journals

It's been a while since I made any new fabric journals. I've been working on these for a few days and finished them up this morning.

And in other project [...]

Now THIS is exciting!

Terri got an advanced copy of her new book today!

I am so happy for her I could burst! She's taking pre-orders for it on her blog. Just look on the left side of the screen. 

I can't wait for my copy to arrive cause I've got a project in it too:[...]

Dear Diary….

I picked up a couple of pre-made diary text blocks the last time I ordered book making supplies. I bound the one on the right using a faux leather book cloth and when you hold it in your hand you'd swear was real leather.

 These text blocks are set up so that they are applicable [...]

Taxi!

I fell in love with this new group of fabrics called "Taxi"by Timeless Treasures so I ordered up a set of fat quarters from Keepsake Quilting. They've been sitting on my work table for weeks until yesterday when I decided to work with them and turn them into a quilted message board:

altered jacket

Boy I'm glad this is done! I hate it when I have something on the to do list for too long.  It's impossible to get a good picture of this jacket.  I think that I've taken 100 photos this morning and these were the best ones of all of them:

and the back:[...]
