Turning old books into new art
for wonderers and wanderers
Est. 2012 by Beth Boza & Joanna Reser
Find us at festivals and street fairs peddling our book-page prints, upcycled leather sketchbooks, and decorative wares made from vintage papers and textiles.
The folks we meet in our booth are eternal students: artists, educators, readers, and writers: tree-climbers and star-sweepers with roaming feet — each one searching the world for more and more truth and beauty.
After all, “A book is a dream you hold in your hands…”
