Hello! In an attempt to revitalize this blog, I've agreed to begin writing about the Austin book arts group, book arts in general, and my journey in this area. I hope to interest other ABW members to contribute here. Please send me ideas of what you'd like to see here: resources, interesting book artists, exhibits, and the like. If you would like to write, please contact me.
As means of introduction, let me make clear that I am not a professional artist. My education in book binding has been haphazard and on my own. Maybe you are like me. No doubt many of you are better and more talented than I am. What I bring to the table, so to speak, is an interest, a desire to improve, and enthusiasm.
Why do I bother? It's the joy of creating and the intellectual challenge of constructing a book that draws me back to my studio. Armed in degrees in English and Communication, I have long enjoyed the written word and the power of books. I am perpetually a student, and I admire what those more talented and more creative can do.
Who knows where these entries will lead us.
Deborah
