Hand Bound Books

Books are not only grounding, but they are also useful in many areas of life at any age. Journaling, drawing, painting, note taking, collaging surfaces, collectors of many things, or simply a sticker book, blank books are fantastic!

These books begin their journey bulk materials, often large sheets of various materials, that I break down in to the sizes needed to create each book, folding paper, gluing the covers, sewing the binding, cover to cover. Each one is unique, not always perfect, but always ready to be put to use.

Please Contact me if you are interested in purchasing a book, or having a custom one made.
