Excited and Apprehensive

Everything is wrapping up for the winter break.  I can't believe we're going back to school next weekend!!  I've had an extra long break and can't wait to get back in the game : )  I'm really excited because I finally finished the advertising projects I had started for next semester.  Last night I completed the catalog, my etsy site is up, I have some followers on here, and I have signs and fliers.  Plus the fellowship with the Literary House gives me full access to the print shop, so I can work on my books whenever I am not working on school work.  This is going to be a great semester.  I'm looking forward to working hard and enjoying the once-in-a-lifetime college experience.  : D   Keep checking in.  I'm hoping that I'll have a lot to write about when I set my plans into action!  Thanks for being so supportive!!

Moving forward

I decided today to start working on advertising.  I really haven't done much to promote my work.  I made signs and flyers and am working on a catalog.  I took some more pictures as well.  I hope that you guys like them : )

Introduction

This blog is all about my artwork.  Ever since 10th grade I have been in love with the book arts.  I am now in my fourth year of college and am aspiring to become a professional Master Bookbinder.  Most of you know this story and it is old news.  I won't bore you with all of the details, because I could go on for hours.  Check out my pics, post on my wall, and share this with people.  Many of my handmade books are for sale.  I can do very basic repair work.  Also, I do custom projects.  And, if you live in Chestertown, Maryland I would be happy to teach you the craft of bookbinding. 
Here are some examples:
