“No, I’m not on this particular square of your quilt because it brings out the color of my eyes. Where do you get your ideas, Mom?!” -Mayhem

Book + Art: Handcrafting Artists’ Books by Dorothy Simpson Krause. Lovely look at creating books as art objects – the author has an amazing body of work, although I was definitely ready for a break from earth tones by the end. She covers a wide array of topics beyond book making and binding, from making a gelatin sheet to print from (look online for a recipe that is shelf-stable instead) to making a collapsible piercing cradle (the secret to getting your sewing holes straight through your signatures).

Reading Update
Collage Journeys: A Practical Guide to Creating Personal Artwork by Jane Davies. What it says in the title. πŸ™‚ Definitely one I’ll pick up for my collection – I think I like it the best of the collage-related books I’ve read.
Mixed-Media Journals: Creatively Chronicling Your Life by Katherine Duncan Aimone. My guess is that this scrapbooking book was all written and the editor decided they should try to pick up the art journaling crowd, so they changed the title and did a search and replace to use “art journaling” instead of scrapbooking a few times near the beginning of the book.

The least amount of linkity ever in a linkity post

During my linkity creating time, I was at a goodbye gathering for my boss, whose last day is actually today. He’s moving on to another opportunity. I’m sad, because he’s the best, most supportive boss I’ve ever had. And I’m also tired, as it’s been a crazy busy week at work. Chaos has the right idea here…
