Tools of the
Trade

There are many tools that I use when doing bookbinding and Cartonnage. 

colorful fabric

I search for beautiful materials to use for handmade books and cartonnage boxes.

embroidery thread, scissors, hoop, needle

I use a lot of embroidery in my work.

cardboard pieces

Yes! All these pieces will become a cartonnage box.
