For Christmas my daughter gave me a bookmaking kit. It seemed a natural choice for someone who enjoys books as much as I do. My appetite had been wetted a while ago by watching Nik the Booksmith on YouTube. Nik can make serious, leather-bound books that it is a pleasure to watch her work, but recently has been making whimsical projects like “junk journals” and “lapbooks.” These are also a pleasure to watch and they bring the doability down to mere mortal status. Nik is fun to listen to as she hunts for rulers and glue. When the moment comes for me to get out my Christmas project I will have much more confidence than I deserve, all as a gift from Nik.
