#100HandmadeBooks

I’ve been thinking about this project for a while and I had posted a couple of books-in-progress on Instagram that I thought might be included, but I feel like I’ve really got my feet under me, I have a direction and some more sophisticated understanding of the mechanics of bookbinding, and I decided that “I have a book I won’t be embarrassed to have floating around the internet when I’m actually good at this” is a good time to actually start documenting.

Basically, I want to go to pursue formal schooling in this at some point, but in the meantime, I’m self-teaching and building a portfolio. My hope is that this will be a mix of historical model pieces, gifts and other working objects that will find a home in the SCA, and contemporary pieces with a little more creative interpretation.
