It has been a bit quiet in my bookbinding life, because I have travelled a lot,  rested my hands a lot, and gardened a lot. There’s this little planner booklet that I am making for myself that I can share anyway. I mainly want to use it as a low effort tool for self discovery and mood tracking, but figured I might as well put a simple calendar in too.It seems one can actually achieve quite a lot without remembering fuckall about how to work with InDesign. “It’s good enough for folk music” is my current motto for everything in life. I haven’t really even decided the final size or shape yet. I ..read more

didanawisgi: The Gospels of Abba Garima, an illuminated gospel book in two volumes written on vellum in the Ge'ez language and preserved in the Abba Garima Monastery east of Adwa, in the Mehakelegnaw Zone of the Tigray Region of northern Ethiopia, were, according to legend, written and partly illuminated by the Ethiopian missionary Abbu Garima, who is thought to have arrived in Ethiopia in 494 CE. Most outside scholars and scientists previously agreed that the gospels, based on Garima’s teachings, were written centuries after his death, probably by priests in the tenth centu ..read more

Yesterday I finished binding a book for the upcoming Finnish exhibition of Knyga/Book, based on a Lithuanian classic Metai, or The Seasons. Here are some last minute illustrations that I made for my binding, and a picture of the book in progress. The binding has ten original illustrations, depicting scenes of birds - the national bird white stork - and various traditional folk designs which are drawn with red ink.  This book will be exhibited somewhere in Helsinki later this year, and you’re welcome to see it when the call is published ..read more

Here are some recent tarot pouches from my shoppe. I make them regularly again, but they tend to sell fast so I also take requests for custom pouches. Most of them are made of upcycled leather and they accommodate a standard Smith-Waite deck nicely, with a bit of extra room. Due to the recycled and found materials, they are all unique. (x ..read more
