The wonderful Roxanne Evans Stout from River Garden Studio and I have collaborated together on a number of projects. In 2008 Evidence of Autumn was born. We each created handmade books which we traded back and forth, completing the pages based on the theme of Autumn. My book is pictured below.
The experience was an absolute pleasure and I treasure this book everyday. Our styles blended together so well and the theme resonated with both of us. So much so, in fact, that we decided to do it again, still focusing on Autumn as the theme. And in 2010 The Winds of Change was born. We again each created a handmade book we passed cross country, working on pages in both books. It has been fascinating to see how both of our styles have evolved and yet still seamlessly blend. You can see my newest book below.
With both of us being so excited about our collaborations, we wanted to share them with you. And today we are both thrilled to announce that our joint project has led to a self-published book...The Winds of Change.
This book showcases our artwork from both collaborations as well as other, related pieces. Also included are words that we each have written that were inspired by each other's artwork.
You can see a preview of the book and purchase it here. Soon it will also be available in my Etsy shop.
Thanks Roxanne for everything. I am so happy that our collaboration continues!

Congratulations to you both on such a beautiful collaboration! This is on my list of must-haves.
OK, I voted - thanks for making me think:)
Your collaborative work is absolutely amazing. I bought the issue of Pasticio Quartz, of course, and loved the piece about you. I used one of the elongated Xs that I got from you and put a link on my blog to yours... hope that's OK.
take care,

This book looks wonderful I enjoyed the "preview" at the web site...those books are half as much as the blog book I had published. Maybe because you did all the layout work yourself? Anyway, it looks terrific and am sure you will sell many. Actually sounds like you already have.
PS I loved your comment about my book being "a lot of blogg"! LOL
I love seeing people grow and change, and even though my mind is analytically inclined, I like it when something is just beautiful beyond words.
looks fab! another thing to add to my book wish list :)
I can't wait to see this book Seth. You and Roxanne would make a fantastic collaborative team with some very complimentary style I think.This will definitley be on my must have list.How funny, word verification is imagine, go figure!
Its truly marvellous to work together with like minded individuals and when they merge spirits wonderful things emerge - such is the case here obviously.
I was amazed that the two of you share much the same style. In fact, one of Roxanne's pages I felt sure was yours until I enlarged it. Beautiful art and memories.
Congratulations on a beautful publication. I just looked through the preview and it looks stunning.
