Just time to heat up a Fray Bentos pie with all the trimmings.

And i thought Hilary/Ace dancing would be the funniest thing on here (can’t do the Eddie video yet…kids around).

Bummer about Paper Source’s new shipping policy. :(

Gorgeous book, and the lined paper makes a nice range to your Etsy offerings (you are working on your Etsy shop, right?).

I think a writer would like it as it has lovely A4 sized cream lined pages… I’m pretty sure whatever you end up using yours for, it will fill it with loveliness!

I adore Eddie Izzard, he makes me and my boys laugh hysterically :-D

Yes, I will give you Tom Wilkinson and I will raise you Liam Neeson…….

MaryAnnArtist – thank you! I love making books too but when you have over 120 of the things lying around the house the need to dispose of them becomes quite urgent!

Tom – there’s a question! I’m not very ‘artistic’ as such, can’t paint or draw, but I find something like bookbinding (even though it is quite a technical pursuit – measuring and precision) appeals to my creative side as I enjoy working with colour and pattern and deciding what goes with what to create a pleasing harmony. I also like the fact that you have got something useful at the end of the process. I also enjoy calligraphy as again it is (or can be) a very measured, precise activity.
You don’t say what you can do? Do you draw or sculpt?

I only found bookbinding after a long exploration of various hobbies – tapestry, embroidery, silk painting, calligraphy then making books which has struck a chord.

Beautiful Book!! I used to make books also. I really loved it. And when you are done, you have this great book to sell, give away, or write in yourself.
Nice work.

I still haven’t put anything in ‘my’ book…it’s too nice :)
shame about the paper supplies :(
took me a while to get the cartoon ..durrr….it’s such a visual thing too…
hey I’ve never seen Eddie Izzard before …what a scream !!
I’ve decided that Tom Wikinson is THE actor for me….I wonder if he’s single ;)

the more i look at your lovely books the more i realise i’d like to do something creative. not something good, just something creative. my grandfather painted, my mother carved and i, well, i’m not sure what i really do. any suggestions?
