Handmade festival today!

Come to the Central Library on Dundas to the Handmade Festival today until 4pm!

Handmade Festival

Come out to the Handmade Festival this Saturday from 10-4 at the Central Library! We will have a table and will be selling some of our paper jewelery along with some new paper wallets. 

I also have a display of sculpted books at the Pondmills branch library until the end ofthe month. In addition I have a small display of pieces on the second floor of the Central Library. 

We still have some jewelery for sale at Gift of Art on Richmond Street, but have not been making as much lately since I'm starting back at university next week and won't have as much time available. 

Enjoy the shows if you're able to take a look or come out to the Handmade Festival this Saturday.

More postcards!

I've just mailed two new postcards for this week. One is off to New York in the USA, the other to Poland. It's getting harder to keep them unique, but hopefully these are enjoyed.

Books2Eat Fundraiser

I have been busy folding, cutting and gluing books to create sculptures for the upcoming Library fundraiser Books2Eat this Friday April 13th. It is a fabulous event for which local chefs create dishes inspired by the written word, which guests get to sample. This year I am making the table centre pieces. I never imagined how fun this project would turn out to be! I am learning about the different papers that books are printed on and how older book pages can literally crumble when folded. The biggest challenge has been to keep them unique and interesting and of course to link the design with the book title. It has been nice to get sculpting again since lately I've only been working in two-dimensions, especially with my postcard project.

It is a really fun night, so get your tickets before they sell out again like last year!
