Hello there!
I started making handbags out of books (as you do) in 2013 and have been amazed and delighted by the way they have captured people's imaginations.
The books I use are often secondhand and definitely not precious. The fabric I use for lining my bags is mostly from Buckingham's 'The Nimble Thimble' where they no longer see matching fabric to books as a novelty (novel-ty! Ha!)
I started painting mugs with book themes in lockdown. The mugs are supplied by Lucy at Tiny Ceramics who lives down the road. Lucy glazes and fires them and does all the finishing magic. I've also taken pen to paper and illustrated a set of book-themed postcards and fabric for tote bags and make-up bags. Busy fingers! :)
