Hello!
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 not valuable or precious books. The fabric I use for lining my bags is from Buckingham's 'The Nimble Thimble' where they no longer see matching fabric to book covers as a novelty.
I've started painting mugs with a book theme (such fun!) The mugs are supplied by Lucy at Tiny Ceramics who lives down the road - and she hand glazes and fires them - all the 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! :)
