PAPER, MY NEW FRIEND

Bookbinding

Double Pamphlets

Slotted Paper Case

Case binding

Link Stitch/Coptic Stitch

Envelopes bound in a semi Japanese style binding.

I was tidying my crafts area, and needed somewhere to organize my tracing paper drawings I use with stamp carving. The rational solution of course was to spend a whole day making this book of envelopes. 😛

 Another attempt at the same type of stitch. I definitely need to find out how to really bind with the different Japanese stitches.

Origami

These little butterflies are from my office job days. I would reuse all old post-its and fold them in meetings. I think they stopped me from drifting off 😛 Some colleagues even doodled a couple of prettier ones for me to fold.

My Origami Sculpture

I made this piece because I wanted some colour in our staircase. It also hangs nice and high so it’s one of the few paper pieces that hasn’t met a horrid end at the hands of my toddler.
