I love to be always learning something new.  Never one to be put off doing something because I don’t know how to. I am old enough to remember a time before everyone had a computer. Even in high school, we learnt very little about computing. In art school, I managed to get away without really […]

This week I am starting a new journal. As many of my followers will know, I am a bookbinder.  I bind journals, artist books, cookery books, biographies for self publishers and notebooks of all kinds.  In my own work at Blazing Rebel I love making notebooks small enough to put in your pocket, ready to […]
