the workshop today was a blast! Jennifer is great to work with and learn from--meaning she's funny and down to earth, and just plain easy to talk to. we all worked on our books. glueing turned out to take longer than expected, and my paper was pretty thick so i kept having to burnish is down, add more glue, burnish, etc.

as it turned out, i don't think anyone had time to finish their books. i came home and finished sewing mine after some of us went to dinner @ Max & Erma's (the burgers are ok, but not great, if you ever wondered), and now my book awaits embellishment.

i will take a photograph of it tomorrow, when there's lots of natural light. it turned out pretty neat, and a lot of people loved the papers i made yesterday. i didn't photograph the paper i ended up using before i cut it up and used it for the cover. oh well!

i used a lime green, shiny, faux gator skin embossed paper for my interior. wait until you see it embellished. muah ah ah.

oh, and i also met some new people, which is always good! and... i'm going to do a workshop with the Print Club, at some point, on making the paper. woot!

i was too busy with glue and needle and thread to photograph much at the workshop, but i know Randel did. i'll see if he has some pix i can pirate over here, or link to.

oh, btw, if you want, you can take a sneak peek at the spine of the book over on flickr.
