sticky paper




Last week I had two days of bookbinding workshops at Sigtuna Folkhögskola. Half the students were from the photography department and half from the art department. As always, a great bunch of people. It's nice to teach something so "hands-on". When they're done, they know 3 different techniques on how to bind a book and also how to make a folder for keeping paper/art/photos. With this knowledge (and a manual I've put together), I hope they're able to experiment on their own, making book projects, albums or portfolios.

Nice job on this one!

From the pictures posted of yourself it looks like you got a good likeness.

Also, as a fellow artist myself, your face has a lot of nice angles to it. Nice bone structure/defined cheekbones (that's a good thing).
