Commission: wedding planner journal

Hexagons hold special meaning for this couple, and they found some amazing fabric that really spoke to them. Intention setting seemed important for their wedding planning, so they commissioned me to create this journal using the fabric for the covers, with lots of pages with which to plan their big day! I love doing work like this, meeting friendly folks, and helping their creative dreams come into reality. What an honor to make this book - and it turned out beautifully.

Best wishes you two, for the rest of your lives together!

Class recap - Summer + Fall 2018

Here are just a couple photos from some summer and fall classes - Stab Binding Variations and Archival Photo Book. Maybe my very favorite thing will class participants is the variety of color combos, patterns, and creative choices everybody makes.

I LOVE teaching classes!

Sneak Peek - Archival Photo Album Class

Online registration is not available just yet but I thought I'd give you a hint... my NEW class is scheduled for September 8, 2018.

This project was inspired by requests from photographers for a good binding method for adding photos to, later. Folded paper concertinas provide space between the pages necessary to accommodate added material to the book. I'm also granting numerous requests by using those eyelet/grommets I love so much in a class project, finally. Giving the people what they want! 😄

All fall classes will be posted on the Two Hands Paperie website shortly. Check there, and/or sign up for the Two Hands mailing list to be in the know.

January & February Classes at Two Hands Paperie

Two new classes to ring in 2018!

STAB BINDING - GEOMETRIC VARIATIONS

January 27

My previous stab variations class has been wildly popular, so I cooked up some new stitch patterns based on the beauty of geometric design.

DO-SI-DO BOOK - TWO IN ONE

February 24

This structure is neat because you can have two journals going at the same time. It is also a fun and challenging way to consider the front, back, and side to side of the book as you make it.

Inside, outside, do-si-do!

*There will be no square dancing in this class*
