Book arts techniques


We're crazy about books here...we love everything from altered books to handmade journals. We love making them, decorating them, filling them, and even reading them! I have gathered up a load of links from our archives that cover every aspect of books that we've examined over the years. And I'll be adding more to this list as we go on, and the lastest version will always be over in the sidebar under The Basics

It's gorgeous. Wish I could reach through the screen and touch it.
