Fine Binding - Happy Abstract

Custom albums with double volume slipcase

This book is my go-to for cloth photo albums. I’ve been making them for many years and have really refined the design.

There are many choices for cloth and marbled paper end-sheets / accent on the box. Photos are mounted onto acid-free Stonehenge paper.

Fine Binding - Living with Pattern by Rebecca Atwood

Re-binding of my signed copy of Rebecca Atwood’s book Living with Pattern.

Marbling - suminagashi style

My Suminagashi papers are usually done on colorplan paper because it loves to soak up the color! Colorplan has a wonderful texture and is a heavier weight making these papers ideal for the cover of journals, bookmarks, gift tags or other craft projects.

Fine Binding - The Making of a Rag Doll

Marbling - Overmarbled patterns

The Art of Marbling - There are many different ways to achieve a "marbled" effect on paper or fabric. I marble with acrylic paint on a bath of water that is made thick by the addition of  carrageenan (the powder form of a type of seaweed).  Each of the paint colors is dropped onto the bath spreading out in a circle like oil in water.  After I add the paint I use a marbling comb or stylus to create a pattern. There are countless possibilities for color and design. 

All of my marbled papers are one-of-a-kind but if you see something that you’d like me to try and re-create I’d be happy to.

For in stock options visit the store.

Uses: frame and display as artwork, end-sheets for bookbinders, stationery, various craft projects

Fine binding - Peter Rabbit and Friends

Do you have a favorite children’s book that was loved so much it’s in dis-repair? Let me re-bind it for you and turn it into a beautiful fine binding.

Marbling - contemporary style

I love making these contemporary style marbled papers. When I’m doing them I think of street graffiti, Jackson Pollack, and other free flowing art. Often times I’ll over-marble patterns one or more times to add depth, and detail.
