Sprouts Press + Brika

Screen Shot 2016-04-06 at 10.43.16 AM

I’m so happy to announce that you can now find Sprouts Press products on Brika.com!!  Woot!!  I’ve been impressed with this site and it’s well-curated collection of handmade items for a while now.  So naturally, I’m over the moon to be the featured maker this week!!

Part of this feature is an interview, a great Q & A to give you a bit more insight into what I do and why.  Here’s a snippet:

“Carolyn Eady’s first job was at the public library, back when she was starting high school. She loved reading and writing before, but this constant exposure to books and the world of publications was new to her. She was blown away by the diversity of what a book could be, and loved every minute of it”.

If you’ve been following along, you know that April is a busy month for Sprouts Press.  There are many shows and workshops happening, everyone seems to love journaling and sketching this time of the year.

So, today I’ve been working on a new batch of Adventure Journals, just for this month’s shows: Makeology and the Wayzgoose Book Arts Fair!!  If you don’t know about these shows, just click the ‘Shows‘ tab along the top menu bar of my site to learn more.

Hope to see you soon!
