In the post

Today in the post I got a wonderful selection of endpaper offcuts from book binder Heather Dewick.  We both have a passion for paper!  Heather creates beautiful hand bound journals and albums, covered in some amazing papers.

So what am I doing with all those beautiful pieces of paper? I've started making some mini paper bunting to decorate my stall at Holmfirth Art Market on 12th June.....thanks Heather!

I treated myself to Angie Lewin's beautiful book, Plants and Places.  Well known as a printmaker and owner of St. Judes Gallery, I loved discovering that she also works with collage. The piece above is layers of Japanese papers on a found piece of 1950's formica.  Like me, she collects and uses the patterns from the inside of envelopes.  I recently found a wonderful source of papers here.  Falkiners sell beautiful papers, including some designed by Eric Ravilious, cited by Angie Lewin as an inspiration.
