These two are now filled up and added to my collection

Hello Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteI have read several posts to catch up with you. Your sketchbooks are really wonderful, as others have also said. I loved the beetle, too!
Where are you in Germany? I was thinking about you, while we were there last week. (Visiting my husband's relatives.)
These are so lovely, Cynnie! I'm especially partial to the bluish-green one because I love that color. What kind of binding do you do? I think that's bookbinding tape, but I'm curious as to how you apply it.
ReplyDelete(BTW....I signed up for the class in July!)
Very beuatiful books Cynnie! I adore your handpainted paper!
