Comfortable Shoes Studio

Comfortable Shoes Studio is the name of my little studio in Beverly, Massachusetts; here I paint large watercolors, smaller acrylics, and mostly bind books and journals. I specialize in custom bound journals and sketchbooks with adhesive-free sewing in which the sewing is visible and decorative on the spine. If you're interested please email me!

Another sculpey repair. This mug... has sentimental value. The handle broke into 3 pieces and no matter what type of super glue I used it would not hold. I had planned on attempting a rubberized handle with sugru, but had the sculpey here today. We'll see how long this lasts. I might need to add another layer to it. But right now, it feels good. #makergonnamake #maker #craftyfuckers #fixedit #reducereuserecycle #repair

Dried hot peppers all are habanero or hotter, the jar to the left that is packed full is a mix of reapers, butch t scorpions, and regular scorpions. Then my weirdo peppers, habaneros, and all my yellow and peach colored peppers. My new spice grinder is arriving Wednesday and these will get ground into flakes and powders. Some will be gifts for friends. Really the scorpion and reaper mix is so hot it will only need a tiny amount to spice up anything. #superhots #hotpeppers #growshit #eatgoodfood #citysteading #urbanoasis #foodporn

Book 102 filled. It's been a minute since I filled a notebook. This one is filled with my post work rambles and processing. It has helped me find some mental clarity and focus in an otherwise... mess of a time. Broke out a DDC standard issue that was gifted to me, by whom I do not remember. I should really learn to pit a note into the gifts so I remember. Any the orange foil is RAD AF. The orange pages are super cool. #journaling #minddump #stationery #penaddict #RSVPstationerypodcast #fountainpen #cheapfountainpen #cheap #comfortableshoesstudio #journal

Dade and I recorded an ep (80!!!) Of RSVP today and he pointed out that every biz bro GTD dude uses the same HD script and I'm journaling on that idea tonight and holy crap, mind blown. Anyway, accidentally wrote a line of poetry, "there is a script to this grift..." anyway @theweeklypencil it is amazing what having an open ended convo on a couple of topic will unearth in the mind. #RSVPstationerypodcast #fountainpen #cheapfountainpen #cheap #comfortableshoesstudio #journaling #commonplacebook #thoughts #deepthoughts

I am super excited by how these covers came out. The background is a copy of an old thesaurus page magnified to 200% or so. The crumpled and scanned then printed onto ivory colored cover stock that is the exact same shade as the old yellowed thesaurus page. Meta. This is what they first look like when the come out of the printer. This 65lb voverstock feels like 110lb and the printer LOVES it. It is made for color.offset. gonna remember this brand for the future. And I just found a typo and it is epic. Not reprinting because it is hilarious. #zines #zine #craftyfuckers #makergonnamake #maker #journaling #artplay #artjournal #art #usefuljournaling #RSVPstationerypodcast #penaddict #erasable #stationery

It seems like it couldn't possibly have been a year ago, but a year ago I snagged 40 years worth of Scientific American. That is over 400 magazines. Dude included extras too. The set was nearly complete. He paled when i said they'd get read and then used for collage materials. Issue 2 of Useful Journaling is going to get a random page slid in between the cover and pages, each helpfully labeled ephemera. I dont know why but that makes me chuckle. There are blocks of words, images, ads and slightly yellowed pages all front 1986. So cool. So I'll be sending bits of those old magazines out as part of my zine. Cool. #zines #zine #craftyfuckers #makergonnamake #maker #journaling #artplay #artjournal #stationery #penaddict #RSVPstationerypodcast

Musing on using the good shit and marbled covers. This was made out of a found sheet of peel and stick letters and ink. I don't know how old the vinyl letters were but they were old and had been saved for the RIGHT project by someone... then given away... I had a hard time fighting my internal, "save it!" Instinct. But the result is pretty damn cool. @pencilution #craftyfuckers #artplay #artjournal #art #usefuljournaling #RSVPstationerypodcast #stationery

The extra in the next edition of #usefuljournaling will be another single sheet folded book all about building a journaling practice. Thinking I should change it to habit. I dunno. I'm torn on what it should be called. #stationery #penaddict #RSVPstationerypodcast #pen #journaling #journal #maker #makergonnamake #craftyfuckers

  • Here's a shot of my index for @jeanettehouse when I have a break in what I'm writing about I add a comma then the next page for that topic. Take RSVP discussion questions those are on page 39, 40, 43, and 44 so far. My vision statement ponderings are on page 34-35, 45. I have also set this up very different from the typical #bujo #bulletjournal it is basic because my side hustle needs are different than my work needs. In this case I don't use a daily log, simply a future log with a monthly log with space for a general to do list. I use a future log, monthly log, and daily log at my dayjob. #basicbulletjournal
