I didn't really think much about it until she pulled me aside and asked if she could display my brown leather gratitude journal. "Sure" I told her, "No problem." Several days later she e-mailed me and asked if she could also display my final project as well. And again, I said no problem.
The display, called Book Bound started in the middle of January and Scott and I just barely made it down to see the books. Really when will my books ever be on display again? Never.
So here I am in um... all my glory standing next to my final project.
and my other one
Before we went down I looked on the library's website to find out where the display was. I found a link to the display and one of my books as a thumbnail (bottom left). You can see it and some of the other books here.
So there you go. My 2 months of fame. I guess.
And while I am on bookbinding here are my two latest books.
Happy Birthday Amber!
A sketch book for Taylor where he can draw all of his football plays.
Good grief are you still reading this?

Not only did I read to the end, I loved every word of it. Those books were unreal and I'm so happy they brought a little "fame" to the maker. You are such a clever, talented girl, Tiera!
"How long have you known Tiera?" they will ask.
"Since long before she bound her very first book," I'll say.
And I'll sell my story of how-I-knew-you-when to Oprah.
Hey way to be out there creating works of arts on display as a special collection in a university library...you have awesome talent! Congrats!
Im so happy you posted this. I have really enjoyed seeing your projects. It is really inspiring to see you continuing to learn and grow. It is so easy to just get caught up in life and the every day in and out of being mom.
I absolutely LOVE my book. It seems to pretty to even write in it. I am so grateful to receive one of these gifts of love. Your projects are so pretty. I can't wait to see what else you do with your talents. Your an amazing woman, and Im grateful to have you as my sister.
Wow, that is so cool. I love all of what you have done. You have found a good talent that you are good at.
It is great to take a class because you want to instead of you have to. You have really done a wonderful job. My friend Dara makes paper and books and she was really impressed by your work.
Of course I am still reading it! Those are amazing and it's no wonder your teacher wanted to display them. Good work!
Ahhh, my daughter the famous book binder....er maker!!!!
