I was so pleased to see Tyler Bender Book Co. as the current featured seller on Etsy. I met Tyler at the Bazaar Bizarre a few weeks ago and bought one of his amazing handmade books as a gift for a friend.
What I really love about Tyler’s books is how unique each one is. He takes covers from old books, sometimes leaving them intact and sometimes resizing them, and then fills them with an assortment of mostly recycled papers.
His books make great art journals, because the variety of paper (lined, graph, colored, and book pages with illustrations or text) provides endless inspiration. Or at least that’s what I’m hoping will happen when I give my beautiful purchase to my artist friend.
