Boxing Week Sale!

DSC_0702_fotorI’m having a little Boxing Week Sale over on Etsy!  I’ve created a whole section dedicated just to sale items, have a look here.  Otherwise, I’m trying my best to add new items on a fairly regular basis, keep your eyes peeled!

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
Where: Graven Feather 906 Queen Street West, Toronto

When: Sunday February 21, 2016.  10am – 5pm

When: Sunday March 6, 2016. 10am – 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?)

The Studio on a Sunday

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.

If you plan on attending the One of a Kind Show, don’t forget I’m holding a contest and you could win a pair of free tickets to the show!  Otherwise, to purchase discounted tickets online, go here.

Today in the studio.  Well, the last several weeks in the studio, really. It’s crunch time and my studio is buzzing with activity as I prep for the One of a Kind Show and Sale.  With less than a month to go (gasp!) I’ve got some of the popular books ready to go, but I’m also working on some new items, which I’ll share in a little bit.  For now, it’s back to the studio!
