Bookbinder, former public library worker, & general weirdo
Image taken from @sfdirewolf.bsky.social IG page. This just...ain't right. My heart is shattered. I didn't know Alice Wong personally, but she still changed the entire trajectory of my life. If there is an afterlife, I hope she's surrounded by loved ones, cats, and potato chips with champagne.

Yess! To feel your power trip to the fullest, might I suggest the following:

-Look through the library's digital databases
-Find out what other items can be checked out (video games, telescopes, seeds, camping gear, etc)
-Request materials via inter-library loan
-Bug (respectfully) your librarian!

Final use of the previous lacunose panel. Someday I'll take good pictures of my work.

Process shots for a lacunose (layers of leather sanded away) panel that was for a fine binding.

Hey, hi, hello! I should probably start posting on here to avoid being a total creeper. This is a small embroidered binding I did in a class with my friend Erin Fletcher a few years ago. I don't have much new work to share right now, so will probably post a smattering of old work + my cat. <3
