handmade books
Art journaling and book making are two of my biggest artistic passions. I have kept a written diary since I was in elementary school, and being able to express myself in writing AND art is very therapeutic for me.

Currently I sell handmade books and journals at The Station, and occasionally list for sale on Etsy.
