Here's the first batch of books for this summer. The top three were my demo books from Saturday.
So, while in preparation mode for last Saturday's workshop at
Surface, I decided that my goal for the next few months, (one of em') is to make a book for each day of my summer. I don't intend on making one every single day, because there will be some travel (and laziness!) in the mix...but when I am in work-mode, I can finish several in a day.
And I'm not promising they'll all be pretty, 'cause I intend on teaching myself some bindings I do not know. This project will be good, satisfying practice/progress, and will help me build up an inventory of blank books in case I participate at any events like
Unique LA in the Winter.
And...now that I've announced this plan to all you strangers out there who read my blog, I better get to work, huh?
Also, (speaking of books) I'm not sure I've mentioned that I am returning to
Penland this summer to make books for a couple of weeks. Thank God, right?
