I made a book! ( with help)

Had a great time at the book binding party at Rosemary Starace's studio Wednesday nite. In preparation I gathered up some of my cartoons that were in many different files and tidied them up, printed them out, etc. Sounds simple, right? It took me all week to organize them.

I knew nothing about book binding, so I just brought card stock and mat board to make covers. Not good choices.  The 'ruggedly handsome' print maker, bookmaker guy, Michael Vincent Bushy, and trusted sidekick, Jean Carrie Converse, managed to help me, as well as the other participants (there were a lot), finish a beautiful book before the end of the workshop. As I'm not very precise, Michael also creatively did corrective surgery on my book to make it look better. I loved the event. Thank you Rosemary and Alan for hosting. Thanks Mike and Carrie. You were all amazing. Here are a few photos of my cartoon book.
