One of the best things about taking workshops is that you get to pick up little tips that make a huge difference in your work.
One of my favorite tips came from a table mate at the Focus on Book Arts conference last year. While she was gluing, she used a chopstick rest for her glue brush to keep it from rolling off the table – genius!
Mrs. Lin’s Kitchen has a great selection of chopstick rests. I’ve ordered from them before and had good service. If you’re looking for one that’s extra special, I recommend this one.
By the way, if you find a chopstick rest shaped like cheese, please let me know. Me want.

Fabulous tip! Thanks.
Another “Why didn’t I think of that?” moment. Thank you! Great tip.
Benj & Lee,
I sure wish I could take credit for the tip. If you’re out there – person who sat next to me at the “Sewing Over Cords” workshop with Patricia Grass at the Focus on Book Arts conference – come claim all the praise and glory!
