Another Pink House Press holiday card teaser!

Each year the sister company of Blue Marble Books, Pink House Press, produces a holiday card. It's not for sale. It is to thank those close to us and wish them well in the new year. Without further ado...Let the holiday card making start. Whatever will it be?

As you are paging through your lovely new handmade book you see a knot. Resist the urge to clip those ends any closer. Those ends are all that stands between your pages staying neatly together and your book slowly unraveling.

Sometimes a gal needs to sketch. Know what I mean? Blue Marble Books are good for sketchin. Get one before they are gone!
What happened to this year? Spent a bunch of time traveling which took me far from the studio. But I know that travel inspires and when the winter hits, I will have plenty to keep me busy!

Busy in the studio today.
BlueMarbleBooksMN shared a new photo on Etsy New designs are on the way!
Decided it has been much too long since I set foot into Minnesota Center for Book Arts and corrected that today. Great to see artist Richard Stephens.

Good things happening there!
