I've been making books in schools, libraries, and with my family for twenty years. My primary goal is always to make it easy and fun. It is my pleasure and delight to share what I have learned and bring the joy of making books to you.
These ebooks will bring hours of handmade pleasure along with learning. The materials are simple to find, the directions are detailed and clear, and the reproducible patterns make it easy to get started at home and in the classroom.
The Workshop Papers Series are adapted from my workshop handouts. Directions for the book forms are followed by photographs and information on how to use them. Reasonably priced at $2.95.
