Beginning a new historical model! This time I'm working on St. Cuthbert's manuscript. While starting on the wooden boards I decided it might be wise practice with davey board first, so I'll be making two models, one covered and one uncovered. 😁

Slowly getting the books from Bookbinding 3 finished!

This week is 4 weeks post-surgery #2, still trying to catch up on so much. I am looking forward to the break and excited to teach for the MLIS program next semester!

Our Miniature Book Workshop was a success! Swipe through to see photos of our participants making 2 inch case-bound books. 📚

Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thank you to Arielle VanderSchans for facilitating the workshop! 😀

Research batsignal! 🚨 Does anyone have access to MidJourney, and if so, could you give it the prompts “old book,” “magical tome,” and “illuminated manuscript”?

To support CBBAG's Kindred Spirits Exhibition I've created a textblock of Anne of Green Gables and made it available for download on my blog (with printing instructions)!.

The souvenir shops of the early 20th century faced a practical problem in displaying a wide range of postcards effectively to customers. The answer? A Ferris wheel postcard display rack, of course.

Finally getting back to historical models! Textblocks for miniature Carolingian bindings are in the press.

Once again, it is catalog day. So if you somehow missed it, here's the big Summer Catalog, updated with what's sold and/or is on hold. I've also added three new manuscripts. Have fun.

Visit to the chain library complete! It was incredible to see! 😍

[Arielle's Bindery @ariellesbindery]

A trip to the Zaanse Schans today! It is filled with historic windmills. And we only got caught in the rain once.

[Arielle's Bindery @ariellesbindery]

Yesterday we went to a paper mill (the mill has been in existence since 1622) and took part in a paper making workshop. 😊 It was a fun day!

A few photos from my vacation this month! Amsterdam, the Huis van het Boek, the Rijksmuseum, & Keukenhof!

[Arielle's Bindery @ariellesbindery]

@zanna_vl Beautiful! I'll be visiting the museum in May!

[Arielle's Bindery @ariellesbindery]

It has been a while since I made a book pin and for this one I went all out. Leather spine and leather corners! I love how it turned out. 😍
