Custom Books |
|
I work with a small number of clients - usually choosing those jobs that challenge my creativity and, basically, just sound like fun. Sometimes I’ll take on a job simply because I like the sentiment behind the project.
Each book or edition of books I create is unique - no two are ever the same. Many of these books feature paper crafted in the studio at Mission Creek Press exclusively for the project. |

Many books become a true collaboration with the client. This wedding album serves as guest book, photo album, anniversary keepsake (each spouse wrote a letter to the other in separate sewn-in booklets to be read on their first anniversary) and scrapbook. The bride created the woodblock print used on the cover. |
