>> Don't tempt me with marbling! My learning wish list includes: various forms of bookbinding, how to make recycled paper; painting foredges in a sophisticated way (I do it the brute way); handmaking headbands; using book layout softwares; digital drawing, creating dust jackets, embossed and debossed covers; handmade title printing techniques and a huge etc. <<

*laugh* So very true. But the results are beautiful

>> The fascinating thing about bookbinding is that it converses with so many arts, it's a world to learn! <<

I agree. It's a very agglutinative art form.

>> So far, life has been so crazy, I've only learned a couple of binding techniques and I have achieved it with some dignity. Anyway, there's still life ahead of me.<<

That's a good approach.

>> Do you have any hobbies? <<

I have so many hobbies! :D Gardening and photography are big at this time of year.

I dabble in all manner of crafts, from beadwork and scrapbooking to freestyle creations inspired by found items. A few examples:

I also write, which many people consider a hobby, but that's my dayjob. Today is my Poetry Fishbowl, with a theme of "Making Do." I encourage you to drop by and give me prompts. Crafts will fit right in!
