Bookmaking 101

So, I am taking this new class - Book and Paper Arts - and I LOVE it! We are learning to sew, bind, and cover books, as well as making our own paper from scratch! If you ever have the opportunity to take a class about this lost art, DO IT! You will not be dissapointed!

As for those of you who would like to learn how to make a book, I think these might be the best sites... one is for soft cover and one is for double cover... but if you are interested, do some research and make some different kinds, too! Mine are actually chip board covers to make them more sturdy.

Happy bookmaking!

me + website = love

Hey! I am so excited! I just had the best day updating my website... and I must say, it is glorious (thanks to my good friend, Justyne)! So, you will have to check it out...

click here!

I would love any comments you have about it!

Also, I have come upon a new blog that I am absolutely obsessed with... you will soon see some work inspired by her... so, check her out!

Until later my loves...

Some Inspiration...

Hello out there!

So, sorry it's been a couple days... I have been quite busy applying for graduate school and getting my portfolio together.

But good news! I finished my personal logo! I would love to know what you think!



Also today, I found some really great things that may become new obsessions...

Today, I also had some photos taken and I will post as soon as they have developed and been treated! It will surely be a piece! I can't wait!

Well, until tomorrow, maybe... ciao!

Sweet Saturday Sensations

Today is Valentine's Day! I started the day off...

...by making cupcakes for my Valentine!

They are not a pretty as these, but I am working toward it!

more to come later... :)

So, here are a few of my favorite things:

canvas, salt and pepper shakers, magnets, and Millie!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Bonjor!

This is my first time posting, so it will be short and sweet (I really want to start on Valentine's day). I was convinced to join this cyber society by one of my best friends, M, and well, now I am here!

My name is Tori, and I am a graphic designer from Savannah, Georgia- but I love anything that can get my creative juices going... photography, jewelry creation, book & paper making, printmaking... many more too, but these are my favorites. More to come soon...

Au revoir!
