I created this book as a way to give new life to various bits and pieces of scraps that I could not bear to get rid of from previous projects. Never throw anything away.

All of these photos are of the book, "Stories Told by Scraps #1" - The front and back cover, several page spreads, and images of the book's pages fanned out are shown here. Click on photos to see larger versions.
