Bookbinder and book artist, Debra Frances, in her home studio, showing off one of her bracelets made from bound paper.
Debra works with foraged and natural materials to create her unconventional books. Her handmade books have driftwood or fish skin covers, the latter from the fish she and her husband have caught and tanned themselves,  bound together using ancient binding methods. She’s learning how to make her own paper, hand-cutting pages and dyeing them to create her truly one-of-a-kind notepads and sketchbooks.
