I finished the demonstration page for the Indian account book I made last year. It's been in the hands of its owner for a few months now so for all intents and purposes this is the "unveiling" of the book.

I still have some bags of paper scraps left which I am selling to benefit Unicef's tsunami relief efforts. Details on the front page.

These papers are left over from my book projects and are very high quality. It's a triple winner - you get beautiful papers with a thousand potential uses, I clear space for new projects and the tsunami victims get the help they so desperately need. You can use Paypal, or send a check or money order. Email me and we'll go from there.


update: Many thanks to those who took me up on this offer. These bags are gone; however, I have some new bags of paper scraps to benefit WWOZ as they rebuild after the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

If you're interested in having one or more of the lined paper journals customized for you, please let me know today. Thanks!

This is a batch of cards I made last week. Although it's not strictly book-related (and a personal project to boot) I'm including it here because last year I began making block prints for books. They look nice on the covers of albums. I also decorated the endpapers of a re-bound book with a block print of an illustration from the book.

So far I've mostly carved things from nature. The snowflake, for instance, is the simplified form of an actual snowflake.



This daisy adorns the cover of a large album (scrapbook) presented to the outgoing president of my alma mater; the daisy is a traditional symbol at the school.
