I am an asseblage and book artist with a background in book conservation and binding. I create faux archives and artifactual objects. I create one-of-kind writing journals, diaries, and smashbooks. My books, journals, smashbooks and diaries can be a simple binding or complicated assemblages. For example, a diary can be designed based on a wedding, birthday, deaths, celebrations, first drink, graudate, first love, whatever you need for making a memory of an event. I also made clamshell boxes for these special books if you want. Need a box for your favorate book, "The Fifty Shades of Gray?" I'm your artist. I work collaboratively with the customer to create an amazing piece of art. All books and boxes are hand-bound and/or hand-made, not machine. Costs range from $75 on up.
