I started this book for a class that required going on a bunch of field trips and documenting each place in a little handmade book using a variety of materials. I made four saddle-stitched books for the four field trips we were to go on. I found the class really vague and the teacher was quite rude so I decided to drop back to three subjects this semester. I really liked the idea of documenting places in little handmade books though and now I have three more to fill up. This one had to have the theme of home.


A polaroid of my mantlepiece.

Textures and patterns from around my home.


Scraps of things found around my house and pencil drawings of objects.

Fence and walls.
