german ladybugs.

I was asked to make a journal for someone who loved ladybugs and was going to germany for awhile.  After quite a bit of sketching and abandon attempts I finally came up with this...

It's my second coptic journal I've done. 7 signatures. 16 pages a signature.  It's the first one that's I've actually made the cover boards for.  A mixture of white and random papers. Two sewn pockets.

And last week was a good week for Zachariah... he got a tie, which he insisted on wearing for a few days straight, and a harmonica.

just had to do something!

The bad thing about getting cable is that I've ended up spending too many nights watching the lamest things. The good thing about getting cable is that tonight I got SO sick of sitting on the couch that I took out the printing blocks and cutter I got for my birthday (six months ago!!) and made my first stamp!  I hope to hone my skills.. but I'm still relatively happy for my first stamp since junior high!
