I create Paper Goods with a cottage chic style. My shop features traditional style coptic bound blank journals with wooden covers and decorative paper covered book board. Quality paper is hand torn for a deckle finished edge. I create ring bound books with collaged covers and paper bag photo albums. I am particularly attracted to the vintage look. On my excursions to France, I bring home vintage books, letters and postcards that I incorporate into my creations. My collages have a classical appearance that have vintage themed papers and images. I frequently use encaustic wax on the journal covers and collages to give a vintage patina. The encaustics are covered in a beeswax and resin medium.
All of my pieces are hand made with quality material such as glass beads ,lace trims, canvases and decorative papers.
I will gladly do custom orders.
I package items in cello bags or wrap them in tissue as a finishing touch.

20% of the sales from my shop will go to the Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors.
I have chosen to appropriate 20% of the sales from my shop to the Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors. www.allianceofhope.org Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors "provides healing support for people coping with the shock and grief that accompany the loss of a loved one to suicide". Perhaps you too have lost a loved one or have had a friend that you have lost. Perhaps you struggle with depression or know someone who does and have a fear of suicide? There are resources available for support.
