Hey ya'll... I'm moving my posts to my Wendy Withrow account and closing this one down. Please follow me there!

Long story short... my focus has shifted from custom binding for private clients to a professional art practice under my own name. Windy Weather Bindery served me so well for over a decade. It was a great experience, but now I'm ready to dig into artmaking and exhibiting. I'm excited to see where it goes. I hope you'll follow along!
