Here is a closer look at 3 of the 5 books I made this past week, showing some of the different cover designs including working with paint and stitching. As a lover of books, it is a wonderful feeling to be able to make them...for personal use, as gifts and as pieces of art. If you want to see some of the awesome books that the students in the class made - please visit my teaching page at art_portolio_prep. #madebyhand #bookmaking #bookmakingworkshop #handmadebooks #artistbooks #markmaking #markmakingworkshop #nancycrawfordteacher #kaylaprestonteacher #longstitch #longstitchbinding #flagbook #accordionbook #casebound #onepagebook #creativityfound #creativityforlife #studiolife #booklover #fortheloveofbooks #fortheloveofart #booklove

Here is my collection of 5 books created during this past week's class "Creating Stunning Artist Books". I now have a couple of my own handmade sketchbooks to use, a gorgeous journal and some awesome spaces to continue working in some collage and calligraphy. We'll be offering this workshop again next summer for any of you who are interested and missed it this time around! 😊 #madebyhand #bookmaking #bookmakingworkshop #handmadebooks #artistbooks #markmaking #markmakingworkshop #nancycrawfordteacher #kaylaprestonteacher #longstitch #longstitchbinding #flagbook #accordionbook #casebound #onepagebook #creativityfound #creativityforlife #studiolife

This past week I taught a class called "Creating Stunning Artist Books" with my good friend and teaching partner Kayla Preston @kmacpreston. It was so much fun and each of us left the studio with 5 different handmade books filled with luscious markmaking. What treasures! This is a detail of my accordion book. I will be posting several examples of what the class created on my teaching page art_portfolio_prep. There are some awesome pieces! 😍#madebyhand #bookmaking #bookmakingworkshop #handmadebooks #artistbooks #markmaking #markmakingworkshop #nancycrawfordteacher #kaylaprestonteacher #longstitch #longstitchbinding #flagbook #accordionbook #casebound #onepagebook #creativityfound #creativityforlife #studiolife #collagebooks

" A book's a strange thing. It's ideas, feelings. It's fragile and complicated. You can't make them like refrigerators or cars." Étienne Davodeau. We put a lot of thought and care into our handmade books and it was such a joy to watch them come together! It was also a joy for me to teach this class with my good friend and teaching partner Kayla Preston @kmacpreston. She is an extraordinary person and bookmaker! 😊 Thanks so much Kayla!!! #bookstagram #bookquotes #casebound #longstitchbook #flagbook #onepagebook #accordianbook #bookmaking #bookmakingworkshop #bookmakingclass #artworkshop #artworkshops #studiolife #creativityforlife #creativityfound #creativityeveryday #nancycrawfordteacher
