Handmade Philly Book Exchange

I was having so much fun doing two-person collaborative book projects with other artists that I decided to start a larger one with members of Handmade Philly! There are 14 participants.

We’re starting book 4! I made this accordion book and added some things to it, and it will be in the mail to Alison tomorrow. She’ll be sending me book 3 soon, so I’ll get some shots of it when it arrives. Unfortunately I didn’t think of documenting each stage sooner.
