As someone who grew up watching Mr. Rodgers and crafting with Mom, I relish the opportunity to work with my hands. More than anything, Illustration and painting are my first loves. Which is why when the chance to take Bookmaking in college came along, I didn't hesitate.
I learned how to make my own paper, bind my own books, and even create boxes for anything I could think of. The result? Several projects I am incredibly proud of and will cherish always. That, and the knowledge of how to make any journal my heart desires for as long as I live. And I have to say, it was totally worth it. So long Barnes and Noble! (She said hopefully)…
