Enjoying a bit of snow and a lot of frost.

Some close-ups of my last suminagashi session. They are very rorschach-like in that I often see thing/shapes in them, such as tree rings or topographic lines.

My last batch looked like entrails or insect trails in wood. Maybe because I'm feeling gutted?

Adorable little mushrooms, pillowy moss and crusty lichens. I never tire of nature's vignette.

New journal complete. Gel printed cover, hand dyed papers inside.

Being prepared kind of takes the fun out of power outages. And a gas fireplace for the win.

Now that's a doozy

A cute little scrappy journal/ notebook. Sometimes the bits and pieces on my work table actually coalesce into something.

A cold damp day in the PNW = mushrooms!

Here's another recent favorite. Giant journal inspired by Furiosa, what if she kept a journal?

More papery projects and journals I've made

Hi! I make really cool messes with paper, paint and dye and then stitch it into handmade journals and books.

I'd love to find other mixed-media artist types who enjoy bookbinding, eco-printing, suminagashi, collage, encaustic, moody-grunge, the PNW, rain, mountains, moss and mushrooms.
Welcome!
