A very impressive X by one camper! Many wanted more time to continue working on their letters carefully! These letters were created by @bibliojo.bsky.social using ChatGPT so we could have simplified initials that work well for younger kids and are limited time for the workshop.

Did everyone leave heavily dusted in gold? Yes. Did they have fun? 💯
Our STEAM camp workshop was a success! The kids asked lots of questions during the manuscript show & tell portion and had fun creating their own illuminated initials!

Prepping an activity for a STEAM camp workshop this Thursday. 😄 Students grade 4-6 will get to see illuminated manuscripts from the collection at @westernu.ca and then make their own! Thanks to @leoba.bsky.social for the inspiration earlier this year at #buildingabooklab25! #DHmakes

After a busy teaching term, it's time to pick up my attempt at binding a model of St. Cuthbert's. I will try to remember Bluesky and share updates here as well. 🙂
So far, I've made a model on book board and I am starting work on the wooden boards.

Back home after an amazing time at #BuildingBookLabs25! Everyone there was so nice and inspiring, I am eager to apply what I've learned in my classroom and at work. But for now I'm resting and buried under cats who missed me. 😄

My colleague replaced my organs for me! 😆 Orange is an appendix and purple is a gallbladder. 🥰

Slowly getting back into the groove and finishing up the books from Bookbinding Level 3! This is the 4th week post-surgery after surgery #2.
Hopefully that the winter break will be very restful as next term I am teaching for the MLIS program (I'm looking forward to it!) 😀
