My Last Workshop with Mr. Karl

Unfortunately, Peanut Butter has left us- he is gone becuase well, we don't have any more workshops with him., But I have to tell you, it was a blast. I cannot explain to you, how much fun I had! From talking about British accents, to working with really sharp needles, to stupid life. I spent some very good quality time with those around me. And on top of that, I ACTUALLY finished my book- its as if my internal clock went off, indicating the rest of my body to work as fast as possible. Anyways, I ended up finishing the "draft" book, which becuase of time is now my book, and I drew a cute little picture that I have been obsessed with lately, and decorated it with ribbons. I think it looks pretty, and will use both books I made- without a doubt. If I may though, and please excuse me for being so straight, I really feel like I missed something in the Jim Bonni Workshop- only because everyone made it sound as if they were traveling to space. I hope no one feels offended, but I do feel like I missed something life changing. Whatever though, can't wait for the photo workshop tomorrow :).

Mr. Karl...

Some new updates of our book....I am doing Japanese binding, but it is so difficult! I keep on running into problems- knots, where does the needle go now, etc. But I am trying my best- however, from tomorrow, Mr. Karl, won't be there anymore; :(. How will we survive without Mr. Karl? Its like having jelly, without peanut butter...I think we all are going to miss his refreshing presence, but will be Gretal, in that he taught us all how to bind books, and use resources around us to make things we need. More books
