What can you find at Handmade Holiday?

Upcycled 78 Books, originally uploaded by MonkeyDog-Studio.

I'm such a stealth crafter. I'm really bad about listing items in my etsy shop, so when people ask me what I make, I never have a place to direct them to to see my products. And since many of the things I make are one-of-a-kind, I don't want to list them in my shop right before a show because...well...they're one of a kind!

So I finally got organized and took pictures of some of my blank books. These were made from salvaged 78 album covers and 100 pages of 100% recycled and acid-free paper. They were handbound by me using the coptic stitch method, and are just a few of the items you'll find at the MonkeyDogStudio table at the Handmade Holiday show this weekend at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond.

Stop by and say hi!
