Making a book…

… without writing a word. What I did on my summer vacation: Book Art with Holly Dean (Art + Play) offered in Port Hope by Loyalist College as part of their new summer arts program. We had a week of mixed media fun learning on the one hand to let go of measuring, overthinking, and preconceptions, and on the other hand to build skills in pamphlet stitch, Coptic stitch, and long stitch bindings. My favourite, however, is the jewel-like concertina book, a secret book that could fit in the palm of your hand. I have much written that could fill a book or ten and now an exciting new path to sharing my work one book at a time!
