I made a coptic book with a magnetic closure! Although I enjoyed puzzling out how to wrap it, triangular magnetic closures will probably not be a regular thing in my bookbinding endeavors. It feels good to be (slowly) getting back to creative projects and this book's recipient was worth the extra effort ❀ #bookbinding #artistsonininstagram #chiyogami #bookcloth

Hard to believe it's been 5 years since I got Piper. I'd like to think we've had a glow up ❀ #ArtistsOnInstagram #ArtistsAndTheirDogs #GlowUp #5years

Greetings from Denmark! After a summer spent teaching kids, I'm spending time in Denmark. Studio things will be back in October, along with maybe a new photo of my face? Who know, I'm not one for standing in front of the camera πŸ˜…

More than halfway through Summer Art Camps 2025! Some of my 10-12 year old drawing & painting students collaborated on life-sized portraits of their camp counselors and I. I think they did a great job! (The blur is the kids' signatures) #ArtistsOnInstagram #ArtInstruction #ArtistPortait #

I learned how to make a scroll this week during the @openstudio_toronto member's social lead by @etigson I'm spending this summer teaching children's art camps, so it was nice to have a chance to go to the studio, socialize and make something! #ArtistsOnInstagram #PrintmakersOfInstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookbinding
