Once upon a time…
I started bookbinding during the summer of 2011 following a suggestion from my boyfriend. We were in México back then. I inmediately enjoyed it and wanted to learn more, however when summer was over I had to go back to my hometown in Spain and I continued with my studies. I studied a degree in Humanities at a university in Barcelona.
I decided to open my Etsy shop because I had always wanted, since I was very young, to have a shop. When I was a teenager I didn't even know what I would sell, but I knew I wanted to sell. So, when I came back from México, I decided to join those two desires: my wish to have a shop and my wish to keep bookbinding. I also loved the idea of selling what I did with my own hands.
Since then, I've been learning more and more and spending more and more time into my shop. When I started, I couldn't dedicate too much time on it, because I was in college; but know I have finished my degree and I dedicate all the time I can into my shop.
I am in process of learning more and more into bookbinding styles and practices. I am also building myself a nice place to work. I know this is what I want to do in my life: I want to have a shop and I want to sell the journals, books, sketchbooks and guestbooks I make with my own hands. I also want to teach others how to make them.
