It’s been a hectic week with a visit from two of my sisters and my nephew and niece. Then number 2 son arrived back from a holiday in Los Angeles accompanied by two friends so we were full to overflowing. So no time for making books, although the ones I have already made were admired and I have orders for Christmas presents. As soon as they left I got down to work, but my attempts to try a new technique for a sketch book were scuppered when I realised I didn’t have the right bit of kit to punch holes through the covers so I have ordered the tool I need (a wad punch apparently), left that book half finished and gone back to the old tried and tested method. The Japanese Chiyogami papers I used are stunning and I think this is one of my favourite books so far. Although the two papers are highly patterned, it does work. What do you think?

Hello……Little sister no 3 here! Just had an exhausting couple of days following my visit to you. Had a fantastic time at Alton Towers. We love your new book but please send us some pics from our stay. Dying to show them to Pat!
Lots of love D x
I LOVE the papers! Especially the end papers. Where did you get them?
They are from Falkiners in London. I have raved about Falkiners in past posts! They do mail order.

I like the pattern of paper, both inside and cover. Beautiful color too, Nice work.
I’m artist, Hope you like mine.
Nice to meet you. :)
I had trouble looking at your web site but found it eventually. (I think that there is a typo in the link) I like your work a lot. It would make beautiful monochrome book covers!
Thank you for your kind comments
Oooooh these blue ones are my absolute favourites. Gorgeous. Get that mail order business up and running missus :-)
Thanks! I am making them as fast as I can, trying to build up a stock for Christmas!
