This is one of my latest sketchbooks, which has a cover made from wallpaper. As usual, much much more is still to come. But the big news today is that Re by Stingo can now be found on Etsy! Just click here and see all the sketchbooks I have available for sale and buy them all now, before someone else does!

soviet vintage.

My mother brought a bunch of hardcover books from her school for me to recycle into fancy pancy sketchbooks. I really liked this one, a book of facts about Soviet - "the world's biggest country". It raises important questions such as "are women and men equal?" and "does people go to church?". I wonder if I was even alive when kids used this book in the schools...

sketchbook update.

The sketchbook addiction followed me to Sweden. Here are the latest creations. The bottom two are part of a super-awesome collaboration with my textile printing friend Mikaela. If anyone feel like purchasing any of the sketchbooks I've made, you totally can. I'll sort out some kind of web shop soon, but for now you can just email me and let me know which sketchbook(s) you are interested in.

re by stingo.

Yo! Just got a rubber stamp with my new logo on. Re by Stingo is my sketchbook brand. Re stands for everything that starts with Re; reuse, redesign, rethink, recycle, retro etc. Here's this week's bunch of sketchbooks as well.

More more more sketchbooks. And there will be more - "OMG! This Stingo girl is insane!"

sketchbook update.

These are four books I made last week. They are completely handmade and consist of Korean newspaper/ recycled fabrics from Sweden, probably from the 1980-90's. More books are coming soon...

vintage sketchbooks.

Before I left Sweden my mother gave me some fabrics she had got from an old lady who died and left some nice stuff behind. These were proper old fabrics from the 60's or something. Lovely. And since I believe in the notion of Reduce Reuse Recycle, I returned to Glasgow and took whatever paper I had laying around, bound some books and used the fabric as nice covers. Making handmade sketchbooks is like therapy for me, so relaxing, so satisfying. Above are some photos of the books I produced this weekend. I'm sure there are loads more to come. Think I've got myself a proper hobby.
