I’ve been busying away with lots of projects I can’t share just yet 🤫 BUT I remembered I wanted to share more of these gorgeous pics Emily did for me a few months ago! I love them 🎨 …I also love this photo collage app I found, a bit too much 😂 (comment below and I’ll send you the name of the app, if you, too, are into cool millennial Polaroid scrapbooking vibes with 100 different sticky tape graphics 😂) Enjoy these painty marbling scenes from my studio ###

Good question! When I’m sewing the endbands, I use these little flags to mark the centre point of all the sections. I then anchor the endband by sewing down through the book, every few sections. 😊

YES! Thank you for noticing that 🤝 I selected the endband threads to match the marbled endpapers and leather 👌 I loved how this colour palette turned out!
These spiralling marbled endpapers were inspired by the swirling smoke from Sherlock’s iconic pipe, in colours inspired by a dark, murky and mysterious Victorian London, by the river Thames…

Today is the day 🥹 I’ll be dropping 30 new designs in my shop! (See insta stories for details and set the countdown timer 🔔) Each notebook is handbound in an original marbled paper, so each book is totally one of a kind ✨ Many designs will only have a handful in that exact pattern/colourway, so when they’re gone they’re gone!!
This batch is particularly bold and bright! I hope you’re into it as much as I am 🌈 and OF COURSE…. each notebook can be purchased with free personalisation foil-blocked in gold ✨

A happy marbler! 🙌
V excited to drop the new collection of marbled notebooks I’ve been busy working on 🐝 (Going live 7pm GMT tomorrow 👀 Etsy link in bio) 📚📚📚



How delicious are these pics?! 📸 It was a delight to have Emily Graham back at the studio taking some snaps this week! Her instagram is currently down, but she’s an amazing local E17 photographer, get in touch with her for all your professional headshot/family portrait needs! [email protected]

Over the Easter hols I’ve been doing loads of drawing with the kids with my SPECIAL PENS! 😱
I LOVE the anti-AI versions of this current “you as a doll” / “starter pack” trend I’ve seen by amazing (proper) illustrators, so thought I’d have a go at drawing my own for fun! …It’s been ages since I tried to draw something, but I enjoyed the process (tiny legs and didn’t even attempt the hands 😆).

Q: Can you name all the bookbinding accessories I’ve tried to draw here?!!

I’m really into these Acrylic pens kind of like Posca (but better 🤫 with the a fine/brush tip and amazing metallic colours) They draw on literally everything.. glass, plastic, black paper, furniture… 💭 I’m thinking of transforming a little antique kids chair in a floral folk-arty kind of style with them next!
DRAW MORE! AI LESS! I say 🥲
