I made this wee book for my sister Loulou as a christmas present last year...I love books, and making my own brings me so much joy. So i've been thinking about maybe starting up a little shop making custom-made books! This one took ages, but only because i collected special pictures over time and spent alot of money on colour copying and glueing.
Or I would also love to do little quarterly zines for people, using my favourite pictures and perhaps even other peoples works (with their permission of course), which could be a cool way of promoting their talent...
hmmm. Am I dreaming?
Wow, I love this! what a great gift; the personal handmade kind are the best! And funnest to give.

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful thing to put together for your sister! I have a really close relationship with my sister so I can completely relate =)... I recently wrote a little children's book which I illustrated using printmaking and hand-bound myself... it was inspired by her.. all the best with your book making shop, sounds like a lovely place to go too... and yes do the zine also... I love little zines! And I have no doubt that you will have lots of people more than happy to participate =)
