If you are interested in ordering your very own custom book you may do one of two things: leave a comment on this page or you can email me at katie.kennington@gmail.com

Options to think about for your book:

-open spine (where the sewing shows, such as in all the books shown in the post “New books” below) or flatback book (where the spine is covered)

-fabric or handmade paper on covers:

what kind of fabric/design do you want OR what type or color of paper

-type and color of paper for your textblock (the paper inside your book)

-size of the book

-embellishments on cover: button closure, window cut in cover for a picture, decorative work (the possibilities are limited only to what you can think of)

-do you want it personalized? (name or a title on cover)

-something different: like a different shaped book, two textblocks in one book etc…

- Or you can just tell me what you want to use the book for and I will just make something fun for you if you do not know or care to make all the decisions yourself.

The price of your customized book will be determined by the materials you choose for your book. Flatback books are generally more expensive to make than an open spine book because it takes more time and more supplies. I can give you an idea of what your book will cost after you have given me your book idea.

I look forward to working with you to create a unique and fun book just for you!

ps- I order most of my supplies from Hollanders (link to the right) so if you want to go look there for types of papers and general supply costs you can get an idea on the pricing. They also have bookmaking kits available if you want to try your hand at making your own book.

The tabs on the top of this page are for your information (and to help my memory) of the three listed art processes. So far the “How to: Papermaking” is the only one that has information listed yet. I will be working on the other two pages. If there are any other requests for HOW TO topics, please just leave a comment about it. Thanks, and I hope you will try making some paper. Tell me if the instructions make sense.

Here is my latest batch of books. They are currently for sale at a store in town called The House that Art Built. I did not take individual pictures of all of them, I think they look better with all their friends. hehe.

OH and fyi: I will probably never make books this small again…I hated sewing them!

Do you have any book ideas?? Want to share them with me so I can make a book especially for you…then leave a comment and tell me all about it.

Thanks for lookin’, more books to come. Including a PUZZLE BOOK and POCKET BOOKS.
