Thumbnail Producing new work is demanding. It requires investment in time, money, focus, inspiration, invention and hard work. The first two of these things, 'time and money' are usually in short supply. It is easy enough to 'buy in' custom made tool and materials if you have enough money to flash in front of your suppliers, [...]

Today I am going to try to add a picture to my blog. This will be a challenge for me, but I do have a friend visiting (I hope) who will help me through this. But just on the off chance that she can’t make it, here goes!

Wheweee! I now know that I wasn’t stupid about the blogging, just BLIND.
The menu bar is right at the top of my screen, which being a Mac, all the tab lines and catagories are on a grey bar which is EXACTLY the same colour as the Northings - My Account . . . etc. [...]

Hi Daniel, Are things cold in your studio. Mine is manageable – just – but it was not good over the holidays and big freeze. I hear that over your way there was alot (3 feet!) of snow. Hope you are able to be productive and can’t wait to see the new work. Inspirations comes [...]

Hi Jen, It is great when you get the chance to ’short cut’ those operations that used to take so much time. I just got my Jerry’s Stripper going and can now make my own leather lacing from ANYTHING! No more scouring the internet for lacing only to find that brown and black are the [...]

So, I’ve gotten to grips with my Jerry’s stripper! It is an amazing tool and opens up so many possibilities with leather! Now I am attempting to get lots of leather suppliers that I don’t normally use to send me their swatches. Also, playing with my traditional tools in a more daring way. Can’t wait [...]

It is now the 15th of January! That means that I have just ONE MONTH to get my new pieces together! This week I did manage to get the elastic (what a trial) and convince someone to make a small (100!) order of custom lengths to use in a book in my new line.

As one of the Four Selected maker for Making Progress, follow my stumbling attempts to make headway into new areas. For Christmas I gave myself the present of 10 legal pads for jotting down ideas, to-do's, lists, etc. AND 5 new 'bought' sketchpads. This time I will not wait until I have the 'time' to make myself some. I have also sharpened all of my favourite coloured pencils, and brought in broadband to my home (as well as my bindery) so that I can keep to task even on the weekends.
Now, must get back to work!
