Distraction

A little distracted by bikes, books and some other things that begin with a 'B', Stoffer + Blik hasn't been on the top of my priority list lately. That does not mean nothing has been done, there are a couple of 'to-be-finished-and/or-finetuned' projects. I have (finally) tested the wooden textile stamps I bought in India. With a little trial and error with types of ink, I think I might be able to use them for book covers and cards.

After a few weeks of absence my bookbinding course resumed and I am now learning about Japanese binding, which has endless possibilities. You will surely find a couple of these little books at the shop in the near future! The one you see below is not finished yet, but I already love the colors and I am curious to see how it will turn out.

The outline of the next newsletter is also somewhere in my head and I think there might be a 'hurray-it-is-summer-giveaway' in there as well. But before I get my priorities straight, I let myself be distracted a little longer by one of the B's: it's a sunny day and my beauty of a blue bike is waiting for me...
