handmade book of love

a love affair in a book

Valentine's Day is HSS's favorite holiday. To celebrate, all posts this month will have to do with love and appreciation.

To kick things off, we bring you a project years in the making. This book is the final of three that a client made for the object of his affection. Their romance spanned years and long distances, and the books that we made for him contained texts, emails and messages that the two sent back and forth.

This, the final book, includes the correspondence leading up to them finally being together. And the back contains a secret window for an engagement ring (!)
