It was a thank you note for the fun I had following Bari Zaki’s online bookbinding class: creating a buttonhole stitch book – a non-adhesive style binding. The book is filled with gorgeous thick watercolour paper.

in the evenings, after a long day standing on my feet as I was attending an international conference.
Back in my hotel room, I watched the instruction video’s and it was like sitting next to her in class, sharing bookbinding jokes and even saving all the paper scraps as paper lovers do. So I decided to send Bari a postcard to let her know how much I enjoyed it.
Love how you can meet kindred spirits and so lovely to chat with Bari a number of times over the mail. Hoping to meet her in person one day. Xx<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
