I find the work of Jessie Chorley to be really wonderful! Her altered and handmade books have so much character, I love that every piece seems like it has a story. If I got my hands on one of these books, it would be like opening treasure, they just seem like they would have all kinds hidden surprises.







She also has a charming little shop with her friend (a jewelry designer) Buddug Humphreys. They seem like quite the fun and eclectic pair.

Some new work, a little altered vintage book. It's a little bit different, but it goes to show I still have my sense of humour...
