During a search on the web for making handmade books I came across this site http://www.makingbooks.com by Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord. At her other web-site http://www.ingoodspirit.blogspot.com she has beautiful handmade paper sculptures. It's a must see. All natural elements. I love it. I believe Susan is currently focusing on making books with childern. It must be a very rewarding experience to be able to share your passion with others. Can you just imagine learning how to make your books by hand as a child. I would have loved to have learned the art of it as a child. Thank you Susan for letting me feature you here on my blog.
