After working in variety of positions in the book and publishing field, she broke free from the computer and explored book structures in the tactile form to create handmade books, under her business name, Just Terrific. Using traditional techniques to transform leathers and papers, Rachael’s miniature book jewelry expresses love of books and encourages you to document the little things in life.
