I did a piece for it, just about a year ago, and the book arrived right before I left town for Brooklyn. The book is bookbinding with a twist, namely combining bookbinding with other crafts, such as needle-felting, jewelry, weaving, collage, polymer clay, quilting, crochet,&#8230; and dollmaking! The book has 3 levels of projects for each craft- a beginner level project, one for those who have experience with the craft, and one by a professional in that medium. Jeannine asked me to make a doll that could incorporate a book. I make this lady to be the &#8220;cover&#8221; for a garden journal. I love figuring out a puzzle like this!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/book.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4392\" title=\"book\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/book.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This week has been a bit of a roller coaster. On the one hand, I still seem to be stumbling around in a post Renegade Market fog. I can&#8217;t seem to settle into anything and I am still so tired. And stumbling is a word I am using literally here- I actually fell down a few steps the other day- not what my already iffy back needed. BUT, I got a surprise present in the mail on Monday- you can&#8217;t beat that. And this very cute couple has flown off to the mid-west to start a new life together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/couple.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4393\" title=\"couple\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/couple.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"601\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AND:<\/p>\n<p>One of my fish is in this amazing ezine, <a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/spoonzine\/docs\/04_jun_jul_2011\">Spoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My tattooed Ladies got highlighted over on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bust.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/23\/tattooed-lady-dolls-for-grown-ups.html\">Bust Blog<\/a>.
