My First Completed Book!

I wanted to make a few more books before I posted them on here, but I've recently come down with a less than comfortable sickness that is deterring me from doing much of anything other than the every day necessities. I made this book for my dear friend Wayne who has had faith in me and my art from the very beginning. He purchased me the blender I will be using to make my own handmade paper. So I wanted to at least post SOMETHING up here since I haven't posted anything since my initial post. With out further adeu I present my very first book! :) Enjoy...


The paper inside is store bought card stock. I figured that since Wayne is practicing with watercolors I thought it was an appropriate weight of paper. My birthday is coming up soon, so I am hoping that I get the sized frames I want so that I can start making my books. I hope to make them so I can start selling them. I look at the books at Barnes and Noble and see that they are largely over priced so I hope to see my handmade books sell just as well as there's if not better! Wish me luck and enjoy. There is more to come!

On the road again

I am the author of AnarchyArtStudio.blogspot.com but unfortunately, I lost my password and other information to access that site during the many times that I have moved from place to place. So I will be starting it up again here and hopefully be more attentive to it. I have been making some big changes in my life. The first ones starting with a new religion, well, to be quite honest, any religion. I didn't really have one before. So I found something bigger than me to have faith in, and as a result getting a little faith back in myself. So here I am again, and I will be posting my new books as I make them, perhaps tutorials down the road and a monthly assignment from Michele Ward at http://michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/. I am really exited and eager to get started on this path. I will be periodically adding little notes and tidbits about what is happening in my actual life, but I wouldn't want to bore you too much. :) So best wishes to all and happy crafting!
