If you get the chance, take a peek at the latest issue of Cloth Paper Scissors (March/April 2010)! The magazine includes an interview with myself about a few current book projects. The issue is filled with great techniques and ideas for collage and other mixed media projects. My favorite project, provided by Jeannine Stein, shows how to make books from repurposed vintage materials. She created some beautiful examples.

Hot off the press! Now available from Lark Books, is Eco Books by Terry Taylor. The book is a craft / how-to style paperback focused on recycling that teaches well over 30 unique book projects, along with tips and other sources of inspiration. The projects are provided by a variety of book binders. A few of my own projects are inside, including a book made from an egg carton, little books made from baggage tags, and books made from cassette tapes. Now you can raid your recycle bin and make these yourself!
