I'm using paper that my eldest used for a block print pattern project in art school to cover the Kraft paper text block I created from packaging paper. Now to choose the end paper. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts #upcycle #catchpennybooks
I got a sweet vintage sample pad of paper at the #lansdowneartscommittee art supply exchange. I'll use the paper for covers of #upcycled #catchpennybooks . #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts
Landscape #catchpennybooks sketchbook 6'-ish by 10'-ish just finished. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts #bookbinding
Am I IG famous? I made into two images of #PhiladelphiaCenterForTheBook 's IG thank you post for all the vendors, the Philadelphia Library, and everyone who attended their Book, Paper, Scissors event! It was my second year. I'll soon be making more #catchpennybooks for next year!
Another casebound #catchpennybooks sketchbook, which I'm happier with than the last one I made. Might gift it. Bookcloth was bought at #theresourceexchage . #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts
Get your holiday shopping done at this great event! I'll be there with #catchpennybooks upcycled note and sketch books and maybe some Mulberry & Bliss mini picture books as well! #bookarts #philly #books #bookbinding #making #philadelphiacenterforthebook
I'm a big fan of Weimerheimers and ABC books, but I'm still gonna cut this up for covers for #catchpennybooks blank books. #sorrynotsorry
Some more #upcycled #catchpennybooks that will be at the #philadelphiacenterforthebook #bookpaperscissors event on Dec. 2nd! Recognize any of the picture book pages I used for covers? #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts #bookbinding
Ten cigar tins from eBay that will eventually be upcycled into #catchpennybooks travel sketch kits with paper and pencils.
Working on some #catchpennybooks sketchbooks upcycled from a couple of unused B&N (or possibly even Borders) perfect bound sketchbooks) found while cleaning out the third floor. Now to punch holes and sew some signatures. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts #upcycle
A couple #catchpennybooks blank coloring books with covers made from pages of a graphic design annual I got at #theresourceexchange in Philly. These and others will be available at my table at #BookPaperScissors December 2nd. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts
Another small #catchpennybooks sketch book using bookcloth found at @@theresourceexchange. Pretty happy with this one, but it did remind me that glue is not my friend and it should be respected and feared. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts
Some miscellaneous #upcycled #catchpennybooks note/doodle books made from kraft packaging paper, stamped with catchpenny the crow and modified with an ink pen. The #eveready cat cover is from a graphic annual I got at @theresourceexchange. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts
I made some small #upcycled #catchpennybooks notepads using the awesome endpapers from Jon Scieszka and #LaneSmith 's book, Squids Will Be Squids. My favorite characters were at the bottom, so their labels were cut. They are Stinky, Dunce, and Scold. #ammaking #ambookbinding
Made a few upcycled #catchpennybooks notebooks using packaging paper and pages from a thrifted copy of Jeffrey Brown's #StarWars Darth Vader and son, which is very funny, btw. The little ones are covered in the very cute end papers. #ammaking #ambookbinding #bookarts #upcycle
For 2024 I'm thinking I'll keep the green #catchpennybooks book I made and wasn't completely happy with. I'll use it as a journal of sorts with this interesting ink my wife bought for me at Margaux Kent's shop. And I'll spice it up with some occasional Bob Shapes™ doodles.
I just got my #catchpennybooks acrylic signage from Sticker Mule so I'm a little bit more ready for the #philadelphiacenterforthebook #BookPaperScissors event in less than a month! It actually has my Venmo QR on it but I edited it out for posting.
Save the date: I'll be at Children's Book World Feb 11, 2023 from 2 to 4PM with other indy #kidlit authors. I'll have all of my mini picture books and lots of free stickers and free #catchpennybooks blank books for kids who want to write their own books! childrensbookworld.net/cbw-sunday-spo…
I just signed up #catchpennybooks for a table at 'Book, Paper, Scissors' in Philly on Dec. 2nd. See you there! eventbrite.com/e/book-paper-s… @Eventbrite
