About skgaylord

Hi! I'm Susan, an artist and educator with a love of the handmade book. I love sharing what I've learned in my twenty-plus years of teaching. I hope you'll find the e-books here useful and fun.

I chose lulu as the host for two reasons. One—you can easily preview the books before purchase. Two and best of all—you have an account. Any ebook you purchase will always remain in your account—you don't have to worry about losing the file on your computer.

All the books are in pdf format. I recommend printing them and storing them in a binder. You can easily add your own notes, photos of books you or your children have made, and even keep samples of the books in plastic sleeves.

Schools and Libraries—
PURCHASE ORDERS ARE WELCOME
