Marbled Paper
I've been creating marbled paper. This is the stuff that used to be used in bookbinding, like say, in the early to late 1800s. They glued it into the inside covers of the books. It's a royal pain in the ass to make, but I've discovered I sort of have a knack for it. I'm making all of my christmas cards and gifts using the papers I've made thus far ( Read more... ) -

Buyer's Remorse
It’s small things that are going to get me through buyer’s remorse. I mean I can’t return them anyway, so I best work through my insecurities about whether this was a frivolous purchase or not. I’ve obsessed for months now about collecting my spare dimes with the possibility of buying a condo. I have calculated what I can save if I get a ( Read more... )
