Finally Mildred's Lane lane and before I share anything, i have to absorb and sort through the stories, the fragments, the leaves.

With Claire Rosen and J. Morgan Puett

Also, who wants to see the clothes I got?! 🍂

Looking for words for things. Not finding them yet. A little road trip north tomorrow may excavate. ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ten years ago, we made our very first Sendak Artist Roll!⁠
⁠
Before that, Peg and Awl made home goods and bags. We made this roll for ourselves, because we were desperate to make art again. We never imagined it would move our business in this new direction!⁠

This post may be better suited to Margaux Kent | Story Gatherer, but alas, the tangle happens. The animals I am gathering from flea markets to draw for my new 100 Day Project may be getting out of control. ⁠

Even Pearl warned: It’s a slippery slope, Mama. ⁠
⁠
I left my paper mache SheepMouse (she needs a name) out after a night of rain! I’ve done this before. I hope she survives. The paint came off her feet, and there is a little unfurling. ⁠
⁠
Anyway, do you have a Sendak? ⁠
Do you use it? ⁠
Do you have journals? ⁠
Do you use them? ⁠

I started making books Single Squire Notebooks when I was a little kid. Maybe most of us have. I remember wrangling the pages into a stapler to make a quick book — like a Field Notes notebook. Can I roll one side up to make it fit? Open the stapler and slam it, then bend the two ends with my fingernails? Tape it?⁠
⁠
At some point I started running them through my sewing machine for a quick straight line. There is no right way to make a single quire notebook.⁠
⁠
I shared some of the ways and a 2016 tutorial I shared Food52 on my Substack called Resounding Little Voices!
⁠
⁠
Last week was French Link.⁠
⁠
I’ll keep going with these as there are so many ways to make books!⁠
