Toolmaking workshop in Greece with Dimitris Koutsipetsidis

What better than combine vacation and hobby/work one enjoys?

I had the pleasure to attend a toolmaking workshop held by Dimitiris at his bindery in Athens and what a joy. Within 1 day we learned the basics of cutting and shaping brass tools with files and/or power tools (it can be done solely with files, but let's be honest here, power tools make some of the steps waaaaaay easier and faster) as well as preparing the handles and setting the brass securely in the handles.

I did not expect to go home with 5 brass tools to call my very own to be honest. He picked wonderful shapes to start with that will be very versatile to use in different designs. In addition, and after having tried our hands on all the basic shapes (straight lines, convex and concave curves which really make up pretty much every shape), we had the chance to go for a shape of our own choosing.

It was a wonderful experience so many thanks at Dimitris' for putting this workshop together I learned a lot and had a lot of fun.

Image dump time!! Here's a collection of little things I have been working on. Those black boots I painted/embroidered was the last project I was working on before I got covid :(

But I had the opportunity to work on a few smaller things while I was recovering! I am doing better now, I am quarantining for a little longer just to be careful 💚

[Image ID: The first image is of a little fishbone stamp I made out of an old eraser. It's a little messy looking and I used red ink to stamp it onto paper.

The next two images are of a rectangular white cotton patch, with a red vertical line on the side and about 15 blue horizontal lines throughout it with a blank gap at the top, mimicking notebook paper. This project is unfinished currently.

The next three images are of a headband with foam antlers I painted to look as realistic as I could, and both antlers are wrapped with leaf ribbon and wire-stemmed pink and white flowers. There's a little fake bird glued to the top of the right antler.

The last two images are of a flowery pillowcase that I mended using little squares of scrap cotton fabric underneath, with visible stitching throughout it to secure the entire patch onto the pillowcase. The hole I mended was about the size of a penny I think. End ID]

Marbled Monday

This Marbled Monday we're sharing volume 5 from a ten volume set of The Plays of William Shakespeare with the Corrections and Illustrations of Various Commentators to Which Are Added Notes by Samuel Johnson and George Steevens with an Appendix. This edition was published in 1773. Volume 5 contains the plays King John, King Richard II, King Henry IV Part I and Part II.

The marbling is (I think) a Turkish pattern with black, yellow, red, and grey on a blue-green field. There is some really nice tooling around the inner edges of the binding as well as on the spine. It was really difficult to get a good image of the spine because the leather is so mottled and the gold is so delicate, but in the last picture shown here you can see the beautiful roses and designs stamped on it.

I love stamping phrases. Don’t get enough requests for it honestly (hint hint)
