Inspiration




I ordered 500 Handmade Books with a gift card I had from Amazon.com. I have been sitting on 3 ideas for altered books for a long time, waiting for them to hatch. And it may be awhile still.
The process of moving to my new studio has been delayed by electrical problems andmy art supplies are packed up and living in limbo.
Nevertheless, picking up this book and opening to any page is a wonderful gift.

those are beautiful. you must share more what's inside. i'm also a fan of handmade books, especially binding papers myself into a scrap book. love the smell of recycled papers :)
