Here are the newest projects.

A portfolio album, custom ordered by Asmae el Ouariachi, an Allround Fashion Stylist. It is an A3+ book, with a concertina/harmonica back, bound on 11 cords that disappear into the covers. The front cover has a lowered square surface to accommodate an image. I added a thinner cord to close the book. The book has 20 black pages (40 sides) and 4 semi-transparent pages for double sided sketches. After receiving the book, Asmae filled it, personalized it and sent me some pictures. I’ve attached those to this post.

For my 2018 Holiday Cards I decided to use a technique I’d used that summer with the kids in my creative wednesday workshops: Faux Stained Glass. I created 25 cards with plastic overhead sheets, drawing and coloring in the holly leaves and berry’s by hand. Around the edges are holiday wishes in two languages. The cards were delivered with lengths of red ribbon so that the cards could be hung in front of the receivers windows.

For a colleague and his wife, who just became parents. He is a fan of Super Mario, so I decided to do something with that theme. Pixels are apparent in the game, so I decided to mimic them using a weaving technique and 3mm silk ribbons. It turned out the technique was much more time consuming than I had initially anticipated, but – in the end – I think it was worth it.
