Altered Books - The International Society of Altered Book Artists (ISABA)
The International Society of Altered Book Artists is a non-profit Organization dedicated to promoting altered books as an art form. As the Society's website explains, an altered book is "any book, old or new that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. They can be ... rebound, painted, cut, burned, folded, added to, collaged in, gold-leafed, rubber stamped, drilled or otherwise adorned." Membership costs $35 a year and entitles you to copies of the Society's bi-annual publication, inclusion in the members' gallery, and access to the password-protected members' area of the site, which features all sorts of goodies.

Etsy has everything, from modern to vintage in art, jewelry, clothing etc. I can spend hours browsing the links and shops of individual designers and entrepreneurs. I receive inspiration each time I visit.

I'm still using paper, yep, notebooks are still a passion, and yes I keep buying new notebooks even though I still have a pile or two that haven't been used. I love Quattro because of all the cool sizes it comes in, sizes that you want but didn't know existed like skinny or square.

I'm a huge fan of Yohji Yamamoto, nice to finally get a glimpse behind the curtain.

Before giant robots, space ships, and masked super heroes filled the pages of Japanese comic books--known as manga--such characters were regularly seen on the streets of Japan in kamishibai stories. Manga Kamishibai: The Art of Japanese Paper Theater tells the history of this fascinating and nearly vanished Japanese art form that paved the way for modern-day comic books, and is the missing link in the development of modern manga.

Bone Folders are invaluable tools if you are doing any bookbinding. Use them to sharpen paper folds or when gluing paper down into hard to reach areas.
