Leslie Marsh - book binder

Today I had the honor the meet Leslie Marsh who made a guest appearance in our class. She has her own unique style of binding books with metal and mixed material. I was really inspired by her work, these books make extraordinary gifts for anyone- anytime. Apparently her biggest clientele are men (!) who buy gifts for their women (or so they say, maybe they just really think these metal books are plain awesome, because they are). They are out of my price range,a medium sized book can be yours for about $300. There is a lot of different material that goes into making one book: metal, beads, thread, photography, jewelry, resin, mica, found objects, leaves, poems, paintings etc. And it was really cool to hear about her painting and welding processes. Before she started book binding she was heavily in to scrap booking which one can see in her work. I have never been into scrap booking but I might be now haha, for I was really inspired by the books that I saw today, if you have not checked her website out you can do so here: www.leslie-marsh.com Thank you for taking a look on my blog!

Book Binding

This is a sneak peak of my children's book called "Shoot For The Moon". It's about a little boy who discovers yummy, positive thinking and the power of dreams. This was all written and illustrated during a period of three weeks, for a school project in my Printed Word class. It is bound with chip board, book cover fabric,and screws and bolts to keep it all together. A children's book will be created and published in the future, this is a strong interests that is calling my name and something I look forward working on when I have more time on my hands to do so. The bottom image is an image of a note book I created with a classical Japanese stitching technique (glue-free, something I prefer). For now please enjoy this sneak peak. Thank you or taking a look at my blog.
