A few weeks ago I splurged on 2 beautiful sheets of elegant, fun, and intricately patterned Japanese paper at Kinokuniya, across from Bryant Park, and am looking forward to finally getting a few new books made with covers from them.

And there are, of course, lots of books and custom portfolio projects in the works, along with a stack of ongoing invitation designs, and printing to come this weekend and next week…so plenty more photos soon!

Finally, I’ll leave you on this fine Friday morning with the full inspiring excerpt from which my title of this post is derived from TJ Cobden-Sanderson, bookbinding teacher to Ellen Gates Starr:

“All men [are] potentially artists, each in his own degree, and one and all to be capable of co-operating to the one great achievement of the human race, the bringing into unison with the rhythms of the universe the innumerable minor rhythms of human activity.”
