Custom Design Binding

“No Risk, No Story.”

Golden Flower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

About the Project

Design bindings are fun to create, especially when it is for someone who is doing such wonderful work. This project is a gift to my niece to celebrate the wonderful path she is on and the ambition she holds for her future. 

Combining modern aesthetics with traditional tooling, this project provided a chance to express an artistic vision that captures the elements she enjoys the most. I’m happy with how it all came out and I’m exceptionally proud to give this to her.

Restoration and Rebinding

“The sun always shines, and its rays are perfumed.”

L. Frank Baum, The Magical Monarch of Mo

About the Project

Rebinding and restoring old books is a very rewarding process, both for me and my clients. Each book I work on has its own needs, and these three are no exception to that. Every technique I’ve learned over the years was employed in this project – paper mending, inlay/onlay, rebinding and hinge repair. When working on a set of books, I always take extra care to match the sizes so that they fit together on the shelf and are inline with one another. 

The result is a great collection of books that will last a lifetime and will be wonderful gifts to future generations.
