Woah you keep a crapton of stuff on your desk! I usualy just have my laptop, ipod and speakers laying around. This way I always have space to put some documents and stuff.

Now I’m blushing! Love to hear how your trip went – you need to write a blog!!

The good news is that I have managed to fold and unfold your lovely gift successfully. Next step is having a go at making one :-)

I do hope you make it down to Dorset, the coastline is stunning, you would love it I’m sure.

Well, I am back safe and sound and after reading this post I am blushing! Your turn: you are as attractive and charming and funny in real life as you are on your blog.

Perhaps we’ll walk the Dorset coastline someday. There are so many places to see …

They are great aren’t they?

I’d have loved to see the show – I’m not sure what would be more difficult, making miniature books (which must be SO fiddly) or making oversized books (like my latest project) which is tricky because you are manhandling (single-handedly) large sheets of wanting-to-curl-up, glue covered paper.

I either need an assistant or another pair of hands :-)

…and blogging about bookbinding is even better!

I loved reading about your trip north, Renny. As always the food sounds delicious and the scenery is amazing. I’m not sure I could cope with the temperatures though – I am a hothouse flower! :-)

Love the books. One of my colleagues at my university is an artist who specializes in miniature books. I recently took my son to see her latest show, and we were both really impressed.

Good to know you had a good day and a great trip and wonderful, well organised work done.

You know I always say: Blogging connecting people’ and now you can say Bookbinding do so too :-)

Ahem! Mr-published-author! Your stories are awesome too! I agree about Cathryn’s – she really is a serious bookbinder. I still think of myself as an enthusiastic amateur :-)

That’s awesome. Those books are works of art (yours are too).

That’s awesome you got to meet somebody that you so respect and admire. That is a fine day!
