This weekend I’ve been working on putting together materials for some new items!  This is just a sneak peek after a photoshoot late last week.  Stay tuned next week for more info and to see the full items!!  Till then, happy Sunday!

The Studio on a Sunday

DSC_0709_fotor

This week I’ve introduced some new books to my online shop.  There are still some more left to add, but I thought I’d do a quick introduction, since this is what’s happening in the studio today.

These books are all one of a kind Starburst Journals!  They make great journals and albums, as the design of the binding allows for the addition of paper ephemera or photos to some of the pages.

See them all here.

A new year of news from Sprouts Press!

Studio Sunday (on a Monday!)

Yesterday was my last bookbinding workshop for 2015!  I’m so happy with the response these classes have received, and how eager people in learning to make their own handbound books!!photo 3_fotorWith that in mind, I’m pleased to announce that there are some new workshops for 2016!  I’ve kept everyone’s favourites and added a couple of new classes (and a new location!) to the roster.  While you don’t have to have any prior bookbinding experience to take my classes, they are great chance to dust off your bookbinding skills and get a refresher in technique.

Longstitch/Linkstitch Bookbinding Workshop
When: Sunday January 24, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday March 13, 1pm – 4pm.
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto

Hard Cover Arrow Stitch Journal Workshop
When: Sunday February 28, 1pm – 4pm & Sunday April 17, 1pm – 4pm

Pro Tip: Workshops are a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your holiday shopping list, especially if you plan a day of it and take the class together!  (Most of my Toronto workshops start at 1pm, why not go for brunch and then a class?)

See you at the Toronto Etsy Street Team: Christmas Market!

I’ve got some great new journal designs finished, just in time for the holidays!!
DSC_0703One of my favourites of the new designs; the Plaid Fancy Coptic Journal (pictured above).

These books are substantial, sturdy, and incredibly tactile.  Especially since the covers are plaid fabric!!!  Great for cozy sketching or fireside journalling.

DSC_0707You can find these books at the One of a Kind Show here in Toronto.  To see my other Fancy Coptic Journals online, go here.
