I made a few more books over the summer but I didn't have time to take pictures of them...

those look really nice! the edges look incredibly crisp. excellent job! (:

Thanks! Actually, seen up close they aren't that even... One thing I haven't figured out how to fix is that the first and last signature are not aligned with the others on the spine and they stick out a bit on the opposite side.
P.S. I'm sorry I disappeared completely for the whole of August...

They are all really neat. I especially like the Monet books, as he happens to be one of my all time favourite artists. These pictures really make me want to try bookmaking myself, too.

If you like the Monet books, I can make you one! I plan to make a bunch of those- the calendar has 12 pictures, and now my friends want one each.

I would love one. If you'd like, I could make you a piece of artwork in return. A painting or a drawing or something. If you have any requests on the subject, that'd be nice, too. :)

[sasayaku]

A drawing would be lovely! I like your style very much; any subject is fine for me :)
I'm afraid I don't have much time to make books right now- it's going to be a busy couple of weeks. But it will get done eventually, I promise!
Here is a microscopic picture of my calendar (I have two copies of it, so all images are still available) in case you want to choose the cover:

I still have the red Monet book, too, but I left it in my hometown.

I can't believe how gorgeous these are... you are so talented! I found you through the sampler pages and added you, I hope that you don't mind! I am just overwelmed by your skill. Do you ever sell these at all??

[sasayaku]

Thanks! I do not sell the stuff I make because it's my little stress reliever and I do not want it to become another source of stress, to see it as work. I might do a trade though, but right now I've given all the books away as presents... maybe some other time!

[briarspell]

ohh, I see, I see! well, I would love to do a trade with you sometime, do let me know if you're ever interested :).
