Oooh, I want to make a face book.
Don’t be sad about that one, it was a blank journal… No words were harmed in the making on that sculpture.

What beautiful creations. I am impressed and inspired to figure out how on earth you carve books like this?!
If I were an author and someone made something this labor-intensive and stunning out of my book, I think I would be honored and stoked.

As an author I guess I should hate these – or, at the least, they should make me a little nervous. But I love them. Really wonderful. x isabel
