I've been growing a creative community since the internet dark ages of 2007 when I started my first blog. I now run an online bookbinding community called the Handmade Book Club. It's a subscription site that provides monthly education and connection. As of the end of of 2023, my list is 23k. I'd love to collaborate with other artists and creators.
How Artists Make a Living Series
Hello Reader, I hope you had a great week filled with creativity and not too much heat! It's been quiet in the studio because I've been away creating with my friends but I do have a fun interview with Handmade Book Club member, Kelly Barone, to share with you. Kelly is a wonderful artist, teacher and human being. In the interview we chat about her creative and business journey from stamping to Zentangle to making her own watercolors. I know you'll enjoy getting to know Kelly and will be inspired by her tenacity and passion. |
You can see some of Kelly's artwork and read an interview transcript on my blog. Shop Update - Sale ItemsThere will be no paper pack in August but we still have a few July paper packs left.
