It’s been a while since I’ve sold 2 Scribe springback journals in one week. Feels good to spoil some customers with beautiful books.

Back on the press, I’m officially sold out of my rainbow snailmail postcards . It’s been a while since I’ve been in the studio, and it feels good.

Nothing like a cold to bring in the new year! 🤒 Y’all stay safe out there, and if you know a friend or loved one is quarantining for one reason or another be sure to send them some snail mail. 💌 https://t.co/7KMISoFSNk #snailmail #shopsmall #letterpreslove

@bookbindings Thank you!

Introducing the Chronicle, a full calf leather journal, tooled in blind using antique finishing tools.

Some shy away from calf because it scuffs & bruises easily. I contend that aesthetic wear is part of the process that makes each journal feel lived in. #booktwt #shopsmall

Today I am working on a prototype for a commission for @rickisb65! Leather hinges, raised cords, sewing facilitated by my blackened finger candy a la @bhbeidler and my sewing frame. #bookbinder #guildofbookworkers

Happy #NationalCoffeeDay! I’ve been rather quiet here lately, working on some new and exciting things. Rest assured, much coffee has been consumed. You can get your own espresso inspired postcards at https://t.co/0fWTYLcyDM and at https://t.co/V5a8gpH7Ub Stay caffeinated!

Today’s the last day to preorder prints of Saint Augustine of Hippo—printers, brewers, theologians. His saint’s day is August 28th!

The woodcut is the front cover of my binding for @uppercasemag’s Print/Maker exhibit. Printed on @UICtrBook handmade paper. https://t.co/PtyTisesfm

I’m finally getting around to using a portion of a lot of tools I purchased a number of years ago, some of which was a small miscellaneous collection of brass type. I’ve never thought to date my bindings but 7 years in—it’s about time. #bookbinder #guildofbookworkers #BookTwitter

[Crowing Hens Bindery @CrowingHensBind]

After several years of only offering half-leather springbacks for commissions, I’m finally working on a small edition of extra half leather springbacks for sale on my website. Today is for sewing textblocks on a frame. #booklover #bookbinder #springback #journal #book
