Ingrid Slezak and Sally Penley will be selling their artwork at the Scribe Store.

Ingrid Slezak’s blank handmade journals are sewn on cords and open flat for easy drawing and writing using a technique learned from Tim Ely. Some are made with good bond paper and others with Strathmore 400 drawing paper. After sewing the signatures, the edges are cut with a guillotine and the the covers are added. The cover papers are watercolor, paste papers and marbled papers that I have made over the years and are drummed onto book board. Sizes vary – from small to 8″ x 11″. The majority are 5″ x 9″.

Sally Penley’s “Background Blitz” instruction booklet is from Sally’s popular “Background Blitz” workshop. This booklet is packed with 10+ techniques for painting papers or creating backgrounds for calligraphy.  The booklet is small in size, but large in content—with step-by-step instructions and supply lists for each technique, tips and visual examples.  Also included in the booklet are some basic design and composition rules for creating finished work.
