Hand Stitched/Printed Books

     Book Making is a new interest of mine and I've found that going through the entire process creates a very rewarding attachment to your work as well as a connection to the past, present, and future.  As my student Emma put it, "I feel like a pilgrim."  You really don't know how much work is put into a book until you make one.  As for the present it's something you can take with you everywhere and fill it with a variety of information.  This project is something my seniors can carry off to college, look back at it throughout their life and eventually pass it on to someone important to them.
