Playing with some edge gilding. I’ve had this foil for a long time and it’s always been a favorite - we finally get to see the oil-spill patter fully 😊

Thanks to for the pointers! It was a blast. Definitely going to start offering this more often.

I’m happy to finally share this one. I made this book a few months ago for my client’s upcoming proposal in Venice. While we had a very short timeline, the book was finished on time and delivered before their departure.

It was a great project and a fun challenge for me to work quickly and make a very nice book for them.

Just published on the website. As always, I include more details on the process of creation, techniques employed, and more of the backstory.

Enjoy!

Princess Mononoke Journal

This is a custom journal I made about 2-years ago but only now getting around to posting about it. Veg-tanned sheepskin leather with “Saddle Tan” (Red) Antique Gel from with Eco-Flo dye for the detail coloring. Both the front and back cover designs are cuir-ciselé carvings from hand drawn originals.

I made this for my daughter who, at the time, LOVED watching this film with me. I now use it as a travel journal and all the entries are addressed to her; hoping that one day she’ll read it and enjoy the adventures we went on during her childhood.

Another great bookbinding class over the weekend at

We had a blast making books and learning the fundamentals together. Everyone finished their books and they all looked fantastic.

Gimli, the bindery dog, had a lot of fun, too ❤️😊🐕📚🪡

Deathfire: Into the Ruinstorm, by Nick Kyme
Custom Leather rebinding, paperback conversion

This was incredibly fun to work on and the client is extremely happy with the result. We used the original front cover as an inlay to preserve what my client loved about it to begin with. It’ll now last a lifetime!

New project uploaded to the website!

This was really fun and such a lovely story. My client commssioned these for her grandsons, both of them being young artists developing their skills. She wanted to encourage their growth and show her enthusiasm for their art by having these two journals made for them.

Their grandmother commissioned a custom project for two brothers to encourage their artistic growth. Contact [email protected]
