New book - mini notebook

I made this little book whilst procrastinating over my contextual studies essay! It's a little pocket notebook with found paper pages and bird cage paper cover. + a ribbon bookmark.

Lino printing

For the past few Thursday evenings I have been taking part in a relief print workshop, which I signed up for as I had never really done it before. I decided to keep it simple and cut one of my bird illustrations into lino, taking a print each time as I cut more away...

I also tried cutting into a woodblock, which I think takes a lot more practice! (This is supposed to look like tree bark)

I really enjoyed doing this so I will hopefully be experimenting with it more soon.

Book making workshop

Today I took part in a book making workshop run by Mette-Sofie D. Ambeck. I had learnt book binding before but was so excited to make my own hard back book. 
It was a busy day with lots to take in, but I am so happy with the outcome of my first hard back book! I decided to go for a map/envelope/travel theme...
