Imbre Flores.

 

My biblionautic chums and friends. 

 

As a Fellow of Designer Bookbinders I am, at times expected to participate in various events and shows. One such event is the Designer Bookbinders International Competition. The theme being flowers, plants etc. The hand in date was some months ago but with the judging only now finished I am able to post images of my offering.
