TWO SOLD! business cards & 3 SMALLEST FOR SALE!!!

I finally made some business cards!!! I left them with the owner of a small omer de serres and he bought a sketchbook from me, his tactic is to use it and if ever the subject of book making comes up he shows it off and hands over my card that way I get more commisions!

I'm amazed how interested people are in handmade books, I've had alot of good advice from the colleages about where I should go and how much I should price my books at, very useful information in deeed.

Here are the business cards as they are for now, as I plan to change them since I had a revolutionary moment with illustrator and know now how to make them better.

two sold books (9X6) 15$ each:

I present to you the smallest sketchbook of the sizes I offer!! I've made smaller before but it was ridiculously useless, or useful.. who knows I might try again!

(4.5X3) 5$

I'm about to scan my inventory of cover fabrics, paper and end paper but it's going to take a while, hopefully by next week it should all be in and will make it easier for anyone to pick and choose their combinations. I know I'm looking forward to it.

1 commission = 4 books, hein?!

Here I go again! Lovely Keri asked that I make her a book. So I did, there were specifications which made for a super personalized traveling diary/sketchbook and I am beginning to think this is what will make my books amazing. Most are hybrids anyway, I combine different types of paper for different purposes. So far I've been adding 16 watercolour paper to the regular sketchbooks I've made. Yes it's great.

Along with that commission, I mentioned to the supervisor of a small Omer de serres that I made books because apparently the company which made the cover fabric for books (paper and fabric already preglued for books making - the purple one here) has stopped production!!!! So he said to bring by a few books as his employees would be interested. I hope that means they'll be on display hahahahaha I can dream!!

(9X6) 20$ each except blue one

^ Blue one is sold, 3 underneath are for sale

^pink one

SOLD AGAIN!!!

Here are the rest of the books I sold, I am so happy I was reminded of how much I like to make books and I can't wait to make more to put up for sale here!!

I also finally made the huge sketchbook I showed before! It has a new home now.

It is the largest size I can make, 12X8.5.

SOLD!!!

What a long hiatus!!! Unfortunately life was beyond my control and certain unfortunate events led to me completely forgetting about my own worth and I took a dive into the sea of sadness and despair. I think seasonal depression played a key role in this.

Anyway!! A few months ago I had contacted my drawing teacher from the course I had taken last summer with her in Italy suggesting my services for making sketchbooks for the new group going on the 1 month adventure this summer.

Unfortunately she only remembered to forward it recently but better sooner than later. I had completely forgotten about it but was contacted by 3 students! These are the sketchbooks I made for one and I had to share because they are so so pretty.

They are 6X9.

sold sold sold!!!

karochet

While stumbling upon a film called "Bright Star" I wasn't too excited about seeing another time period love story, bleh. That is until I saw this stil and OH MY oh my, oh my, that cardigan she's wearing consists of very small crocheted flowers, it is so cute and I want to make one!!!

her charachter makes everything she wears, this is getting me sort of interested in the film.

see I can crochet, too!

palette

Noticed a nice colour palette while cooking..

I shouldn't get too excited, I should get crafty!

My cheekbones hurt.

Lots of air pressure in my head.

This has been a not so great week.

Hopefully things will get better.
