Here are the newest projects.

A custom ordered guestbook for a 10 year anniversary party. The book is 30 cm wide and 40 cm tall. It has 40 exchangeable pages and is bound with three 6 cm book screws! The letters on the front cover are glued in an enlarged inlay. The image on the front cover is a silkscreen by Ronald Boumans.

A custom ordered gift to the happy couple from the mother of the groom. She requested the color gold as a symbol for the wedding rings and ‘red roses’ as it was the wedding theme. The wedding album has a frame on the front cover to hold a picture of the newlyweds. I made two tiny ornamental books to complement the big one. It was my first time working with the color gold on this scale!

Every year I make a limited edition set of holiday cards with a technique I learned that year. This year, I made 30 cards, representing a window looking out on an abstract snowy landscape.
“The art of marbling has both frustrated and fascinated artists for centuries.” That is a line in the intro to The Ultimate Marbling Handbook by Diane Maurer-Mathison. And she is right. For the past year I have been doing my very best to master this craft but I am not nearly satisfied. But the book also tells the reader to let the medium guide them. With this in mind, I used the technique to create my 2017 Holiday Cards.
I made snowflakes out of clothespins and stamped them onto the back of the cards with some white acryl paint.
