I've written up a quick blog post about a couple of cases I've been working on lately.

This is clamshell case I made for @lnebenzahl.bsky.social to present both her prints and 3D constructions. The case measures 13.5 x 19.5 x 4” with a removable set of dividers and a panel to separate the prints. It’s finished in Cadet Blue Japanese bookcloth with matte gold foil stamping.

This case was made during a workshop I taught. Not only was it to demonstrate how to make a case, but also how to easily make a well in the cover to hold a label of some kind, an alternative to foil stamping. In this case, I used my business card. The prints are 4x4" and printed in gelatin silver.

A clamshell case for local artist Gary Welton, for a series of drawings and text pages. The size is 12 x 9 x 2″ and covered in a soft olive green leather. The inside trays are in a Japanese black and gold mohair Asahi book cloth, with the covers and spine foil stamped in gold.

This is a screw-post album and clamshell case I made for a client's grand-daughter's First Communion in Spain. I printed the images on double-sided Hahnemühle paper and foil stamped both the case cover and album in gold.

This is my Bluesky account for the work I make for, and with, other photographers and artists. Mostly prints in platinum, polymergravure or gelatin-silver, and book binding services and clamshell cases.
