5 out of 5 starsVery excited for this book. It’s a gift. Nicely packaged. Great size. The book thread color was a little different than the picture. (More multicolored than the blue one in the photo). But am very happy with the book and look forward to the recipient’s reaction. Cheers!

Never Stop Creating
Climbing Tree Press is a micro-publisher of art and craft that celebrates the beauty of nature and human connection. It grows in the home and heart of Karen Viola (that’s me). My offerings include art prints, hand-dyed bandanas and totes, mini book art editions, and a line of ‘Cards for a Cause’.
I have been a maker of gifts, books, and other artsy stuff all my life. I find inspiration in the patterns and narrative of nature, humans included. If I am not outside hiking, I am inside playing with a colorful mess of materials. Or nagging my husband to send me his digital art files so I can share his work with the world. With all this in mind it’s high time I opened up a shop. I only wish I could give you a cuppa tea or coffee and fresh-baked cookie but you'll have to imagine that part.
Thank you for visiting and come back again soon!
P.S. I also offer design and illustration services and armchair adventures on my blog. Check it all out at climbingtreedesign.com (links below).
