About

Cara Schlesinger Faenwyl Bindery, Brooklyn, NY

One-of-a-kind, editioned, and commissioned journals, albums, guest books, and boxes, all handmade in original designs based on traditional bookbinding forms. Many of my pieces incorporate tree bark and twigs, shells, seed pods, and mushrooms, as both structural and decorative elements. Portrait journals and keepsake boxes feature genuine antique photographs as covers. My Birch line includes journals, jewelry boxes and albums made with hand-peeled, home-cured birchbark and gold leaf.
