Bookbinding Conference Go Fund Me

I've created a Go Fund Me campaign to attend the Guild of Book Workers conference this October.  As a student, I'm on a tight budget and it isn't really feasible for me to go without some help.  I've been researching and making medieval girdle books for the past year, and there is a seminar specifically on girdle books!   I have bookmarks,  zines, blank books and miniature books to give in exchange.  It would really mean a lot to me. Thanks so much!

Miniature bookbinding

I made some miniature full-leather books this week.  Unsurprisingly,  they are just as big of a pain in the ass to make as bigger books!  But they are fun and cute and will be making more, even tinier books soon!  I'm thinking of making them into necklaces, or leaving them as is??
