hello my lovelies! so sorry for the lack of posting as of late. school is making me its captive.
i thought this would be a perfect time to introduce my little handmade recycled envelope books to you. i have been making them for a few years now. i started making them just for fun and as gifts, but am now starting to sell them. i entered one (shown below with the blue-green button) into the "green" show at Artlink over the summer and it sold before the show even opened...how encouraging! i have also had a few friends buy them as gifts to give others. and now comes the excitement...i will be selling a selection at Artlink during the Christmas shopping season! you should go check them out...even if you do not plan on buying anything. (also, i have three pieces in a small works show going on at Artlink right now that is worth checking out...a little self-promo on one's own blog never hurt anyone, right?)
anyway, i have been wanting to make more of these little books and once this opportunity arose, i thought, "how perfect!?!" so now, in the midst of a very large research paper for my high renaissance art history class, another paper for my 400 level philosophy of religion class (still do not know what i'm doing in there), and other projects, i'm trying to justify making time to work on my books...they do take quite a bit of time, believe it or not.
here's to a productive week in the form of recycled envelopes and handmade books!

i've thought of you every time i've thrown a security-tinted envelope in my waste basket. somehow, i don't think it worth the postage to mail them to you from here, but i could be wrong....
