So! Since I've announced that I will be opening up a new handmade bookshop soon, I should show some of my work up to this point.

Here is my book entitled: Purpose
It was made to practice illuminated letters and simple bookbinding techniques. I was teaching that class at the time and wanted to have a good professional looking model. I call this piece Purpose because each page displays an illuminated letter in the word PURPOSE and also uses symbols for different religions as background patterns. The construction was done in a star binding technique with mulberry paper and recycled leather. Each letter was hand painted with watercolor, gouach, and gold drawing ink.
