Hello everyone. Please excuse the late posting - I fully intend to take part in WOYWW every week and then I realise it's shot past and I've missed it. I'm determined to try and post more regularly though. I'm coming up to the second year of my degree and would like to document it for my future forgetful self so need to get into the habit of blogging again.

Please excuse the censored bits. It's something I'm working on for a friend and she said it would be a gift for someone. That thing that looks like an Amazon parcel in the last picture is actually my first hand bound sketchbook made up from scrap gelli pages, old cannibalised sketchbook pages, bits of scrap hemp (I was going for a Dana Wakely sketchbook vibe) And the cover is indeed an Amazon cardboard sleeve stitched to the pages. It's rustic but sturdy. My summer project for uni is about sustainability in your local area and part of it is to create a research journal in a handmade sketchbook. Soooo. Voila. Not sure if they meant it to be *quite* this shabby chic but hey ho - bookmaker I ain't!
I am now off to link up with
Julia - pop on over to check out more creative spaces at work.
Have a lovely week - thanks for stopping by :)
