I had a whirlwind weekend of thrifting that presented me with many options for book covers. I was inspired by a vintage sailing manual which [...]
At the beginning of the year, I started working on another altered book using this lovely hardback book I picked up while in Big Bear for the winter holiday. Isn’t it adorable? I initially had this crackpot idea that I’d stamp a gold doily all over the page in a nice little pattern. I quickly [...]
