beginning books

see, one happy book artist! two slipcases. 
these are book models that aimee made for the class that she's teaching at mills college 
in the spring semester. 
models by claire van vliet. 
papers by me. 
the hard work by aimee lee. 
lucky intro to book arts students!
see the two slipcases in my small bookshelf? 
 from the workshop i took with claire at the papertrail
 when it was still in ottawa.

  1. more for myself than for the class (shh, don't tell!) but still, SO great at the end when you make the elegant slipcases! a fun collaboration with you. thanks for planting the seeds!

  6. It must give such a good feeling making your own books. You and Aimee are inspiring me to follow a course one day. I love the natural feel of these books.

  7. interesting contrast between my sets and aimee's. claire had pre-cut all of the papers for the workshop. we made two complete sets and slipcases in two days, and i've used the structures and built my knowledge on them.
