Collaboration is so sweet

Leave a reply

OK some interesting happenings in the land of books, atleast
interesting for me and hopefully all you who read this!!!

Sara of GirlsCanTell blog and etsy shop and I are
collaborating on a project. I’m mailing her a stack of unfinished covers and
some finished jotters and she’s going to print some of her completely awesome
screen prints on the jotters and covers. She’ll mail the covers back to me and
I’ll stitch them up into books. I’ll sell the books on my site and she’ll sell
the finished printed jotters on her site. I’m really really excited about this
collaboration because I really LOVE her work. I’m a big fan of diagrams and sunscreens
so to have someone who does a combination of those 2 things working who likes
my work is an awesome feeling. So it will be really cool to get the finished
artwork and photograph the process! ROCK ON!

Earth Day

WEll, i'm a day late for earth day but I hope everyone out there had a great Earth Day we had a warm sunny day until about 2pm here in the Boston area and it was great for the activities we had at work. I had alot of fun and worked very hard. It was great. But that is my DayJob and sadly I was unable to do anything with my books for the day.

However my books are great for EarthDay! Celebrate a belated earth day by sending a friend a set of my recycled journals!

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone out there had as fantastic holiday week as I did. Sure I worked most of it at my DayJob but I spent a long weekend at my family's place in Maine. It was cold and crisp in coastal Maine but it was nice. I could have done without the snow while I was there but it was pretty. I also saw a dozen or so deer grazing in the fields, they were slightly wary but not overly so, on set of 4 didn't even mind when I pulled out of the driveway in my car, they watched me leave, their tails twitching, but they didn't stop eating for one minute.

I didn't make any books while I was there, nor did I work in my art journal. Instead I soaked in the pure wilderness of coastal Maine. I took some long walks around the farm and visited my family. I had a  quietly great time. I hope that everyone out there reading had a great time as well.

Upon my arrival back to Mass I've readied myself for listing a bunch of new items I'll post links as I list.
