Awesomeness

[catherineldf]

My fabulous bookbinding wife just surprised me with Jane Austen's "The History of England." Apparently, she's been toiling over this for weeks. It is lovely, lovely, lovely and I feel very lucky. And will post better pix of the non-iPhone variety soon .

I didn't know she was a book binder! WOW

This is amazing.

Bookbinding, book repair, artist's books, letterpress, paper making, teaching all of the above, occasional woodworker, printmaker and sculptor as well. :-)
She has a blog out at http://aboutthebinding.blogspot.com/ (I just finished proofing the next 3 posts so there will be new things soon) and a website here, if you're curious:

Hope you had a restful and lovely holiday!

I have relayed your compliments to the artiste herself and she sends back a humble, pleased thank you. :-D

Gorgeous beyond belief. I would babble something about how you are lucky, but I doubt you really need to be told it.

Most of the time, I totally agree. :-)
I relayed your compliments and they were enthusiastically accepted..:-)
