5 out of 5 starsSeriously, if you must shop beyond your means during a pandemic, buy from Claudia and her spot on keep-human-history-alive recycled cultural products. I just got my new Kindle cover she made from an old book. Extremely well made, and practical. Thanks Claudia. This is soul-food of the non-virtual kind. You're amazing!!
Thank you. C -

5 out of 5 starsI love this! I grew up with these books and when I saw that one was made into an IPAD case I had to have it. It fits perfectly. Very pleased.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second tablet case featuring a book I loved as a child and it makes me smile every time I see it. The entire experience was a pleasure, from picking out the book cover and fabric to opening it up in the mail. She is among my favorite Etsy sellers ever.

5 out of 5 starsI Love, love, love this case. It came out so nice. Claudia was very nice and easy to work with on my custom order. Once the case was completed she was able to get it to me quick. I absolutely love it and will definitely reach out to Claudia again when I am in need for another case.

I search for gently used books with cool retro covers. Like these Nancy Drew illustrations from the 1960s.
-
Besides the Hardy Boys, I discovered Trixie Belden, Donna Parker, the Dana Girls, and Nurse Cherry Ames.
-
After I cut the pages out of a book, I reinforce the spine. Then I choose the perfect fabric to complement the cover.
-
My newest products are self-closing tablet sleeves made from gently used jeans and other cool fabrics.
-
I use all kinds of tools and goops to deconstruct old stuff and reconstruct my creations.
Transforming unloved stuff into treasures
Books are one of my passions, so it's no accident that they eventually found a way into my studio. I browse bookstores for old hardbacks with cool graphic designs or kitschy illustrations on the cover. They make perfect tablet and Kindle cases! I enjoy choosing the perfect fabric to match each cover.
When I travel, I search out fellow "upcyclers." I've met artists in Taos, New Mexico and Eugene, Oregon. I describe their work and my own experiments on my blog, http://creativeupcycling.blogspot.com.
My friends and family -- especially my husband -- are great supporters of my work. They give great feedback and are often willing to accompany me on one of my "treasure hunts." At home, I enjoy the assistance of my 3 black cats.
