Your Secret Admiral, beautiful handmade goods

Your Secret Admiral via Modish

Your Secret Admiral is a Brooklyn-based artist, who specializes in handmade books, drawings, and paper goods. Most of her goods are environmentally friendly and are created from recycled, reused, repurposed, rescued, and reloved materials.

"These beautiful coptic bound books are crafted from salvaged covers from old hardbound books... with that familiar foil-stamped tweed or the quaint illustrations of childrens' books past. Each book is filled with a variety of found papers... pages from old books, lined papers, papers of all sorts of colors and textures. Each book is a treasure in itself, just waiting to be filled.
