I have wanted to learn the history behind the different types of bookbinding stitches that I use on a regular basis. This desire is based in my wanting to grow my knowledge of where these stitches originated, how they came to be, who first used them, what they are, etc. The information will be basicContinue reading “Bookbinding History: Coptic Stitch”

Gifts & Comparison
How many people do you know who do photography? For me, quite a few. God gives each of us gifts. And gives each of us more than one gift. And God also gives to many people the same gift. I ask again: How many people do you know who do photography? Even as just aContinue reading “Gifts & Comparison”
Moderating Self-Care
Last week I posted about art being a form of self-care. And since then, I’ve had a lot of thoughts revolving around that subject.
