a close look

At the mill, these bricks are part of a windowsill. I love what time does to create beauty on a rough and rustic surface.

a small handmade journal

The recycled paper I made in April finally has a home in this small journal. The cover looks leather-like, but it is painted sumi paper wrapped around paperboard from a cereal box.

These pictures show the sewing of the coptic binding, in process.

I love the beautiful (and real) leaf on the cover. The first page has another leaf embedded into the paper.
