Challenge Progress – Design Planning out the design for my #naturewalk creation. Only a couple of days left to get it done, eek! ? #areyoubookenough A post shared by The Bumblebee Bindery (@the.bumblebee.bindery) on Apr 28, 2017 at 6:49am PDT
Challenge Progress – Leather I swear this leather looks a different colour every time I photograph it. And guess who forgot to wrap the text block before starting the turn-ins? ? Nevertheless, things are looking fancy for this month's #naturewalk theme. ?? #BookbindingChallenge #areyoubookenough A post shared by The Bumblebee Bindery (@the.bumblebee.bindery) on Apr 26, 2017 at 8:10am PDT
Bookbinding Challenge! Well I'm cutting it fine (aww yeah) with the date here, my bad for choosing an ambitiously large springback.. but I reckon these are good colours for the month's #naturewalk theme. ? #areyoubookenough #BookbindingChallenge A post shared by The Bumblebee Bindery (@the.bumblebee.bindery) on Apr 23, 2017 at 9:35am PDT

Luxury Endpages from Il Papiro Beautiful handmade paper from Il Papiro, currently being worked into a nice chunky sketchbook for my shop-in-progress! Honestly, it feels far too fancy for an amateur binder like myself.. but I'm not complaining. ? ? #bookbinding #handmade #marbledpaper A post shared by The Bumblebee Bindery (@the.bumblebee.bindery) on Jan 25, 2017 at 8:23am PST
DIY Sewing Frame Testing out a DIY sewing frame idea that I stole from @karenhanmer's fb page. 2x Quick Grip clamps, & a bar for the conveniently placed holes at the top of each clamp. Probs should have chosen shorter clamps, but sliding the completed blocks up to the top allows me to sew more underneath so I don't waste all that lovely linen tape. ? #bookbinding A post shared by The Bumblebee Bindery (@the.bumblebee.bindery) on Jan 17, 2017 at 9:28am PST
