An Auto"book"ography!

I fell in love with making handmade books when I was in high school. Mrs. Robbins, my high school art teacher had us tear up newspaper to make paper pulp in the process of creating our covers. Since then, over the past 30 years, I have crafted many books for the people I love in my life: from my own kids, to my niece and nephew, sister, friends, students and penpal.
