Meet the Press!

This is my Heidelberg t Platen, weighing in at just over 1100kgs, she is the centre piece in the studio, and so amazing to watch in action, a real antique and the serial number tells me it was made in 1948. It constantly teaches me something new and I am more confident running it now than ever before. I love this machine and just like an old car, it has it's quirks but it was really was made to last - a real work horse.

I love books!

I have always loved books and could spend hours just looking at covers and flicking through the pages, I have done a lot of book design over the years and only now discovered the art of making them. Here is a sneaky peak of the finished book I made over the weekend. I took one of my favourite cards that I make and stuck it on the front with a raised surface.

Book binding at the CAE

Being a creative person I find myself in a constant pursuit of creativity. This weekend I spent most of my time making a hardcover book at the CAE - Geraldine was amazing and I love my little book.


The final product needs to sit in a book press (or pile of books!) for 24 hours and I will post some photos of it very soon. It's a bit less than perfect but I will keep it forever as a reminder of my first attempt.

And in saying this, that implies that there will be more...oh there will be more..stay tuned!
