Hello all, I've been having a blast making these little accordion style books. Here's a sneak peak at one, more images to follow... do you think there's a market for handmade books? What with all the magazines folding and publishers being laid off I wonder if now's a good time to be writing a children's book (or making art period)! thoughts?
i make handmade books all of the time. i found a video here that shows you an really easy and green way to do it. i am sure you could use your fun illustrations for the covers.
ReplyDeleteforgive my ignorance, but do you sell the illustrations anywhere on the island? i would think that there would be a huge summer market for it.
Absolutely definitely. GO FOR IT. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's never a good time, LOL! But if you're excited about an idea then you just have to go for it... to me it's not a choice...
ReplyDeleteSweet books! :-)
I agree. These would be tres adorable. I would buy them and I don't have little kids anymore (except for myself!).
ReplyDeleteNowadays, you could probably self-publish and use your blog and the internet for advertising.
I say, "Go For It" as well!!
oh my gosh im with all of them, GO FOR IT! seriously. you have such a nice illustrative style that would work! i also really like buying handmade books like that and zines. i know littlepaperplanes.com has some neat ones. you could probably sell them on there or even on etsy!
