This morning in the #bookbinding studio I'm making a large, lay-flat Leather #Sketchbook in glossy pewter grey with coral exposed spine stitching.

I made one for a customer last week and have enough leather to restock it for my online shop.

Spine of large grey leather sketchbook faces camera at an angle; it is stitched in Coral linen thread in the medieval longstitch with linkstitch style.

IDK who needs to hear this, but #artists and #makers with a #Shopify store who see a gazillion views from 'Iowa, Council Bluffs' plus a bazillion 'add to carts', don't get excited. It's Google. I mean, do get excited: your store is being indexed. Go you! But don't expect sales.

Things I have lost between my studio's floorboards:
- my original wedding ring
- approx. 60 size 16 #bookbinding needles
- one Japanese screw punch drill bit, size 1mm

Telling it like it is: support sandwiches and waiting sausages.

Adam Sharp @adamcsharp.bsky.social · 29d

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

Busy in the studio working on commissions for guest books and sketchbooks, plus answering enquiries. I LOVE the ideas you guys come up with for your books! Bring. It. On.

Susan Green @boundbyhand.co.uk · Sep 10

Thank you. :-) Simplicity is my watchword and conveniently makes for such good design, doesn't it!
