	Places of the Heart collage by Brazilian artist Maria do Ceu Diel, these mixed media collages each began as a photograph made between the years 1998 and 2011 in Venice, Naples, Sicily and Taranto. Signed by the artist. Approximately 8 x 11.25. Those selecting this perk will be sent several images as jpegs and asked to choose one.
	Blizzard Books - based on a clever folding design by Hedi Kyle, these little books are sized to hold business card size papers. Each book is made from one sheet of paper fixed at each end by an attached rigid cover. Cover boards are covered with decorative papers. One day a blizzard kept Hedi from going to work so she stayed in her studio and figured out this structure.
	Canvas long stitch journals - each journal has 8 signatures stitched into a hand-painted canvas cover with bristol reinforced spine. Made with premium grade text weight paper, each of the 8 signatures has 3 sheets for a total of 48 pages. Measure 4.5 x 5.75 x .5
	Post-it book for the 3x3 inch pads. Easily refillable. Cloth spines with decorative paper covers; interior is lined with paper.
	Ravenpress Rock Book - made in my studio by interns learning to use some of the tools in the shop. Existing books are cut down and shaped with a variety of tools, then tinted with acrylic paints. Sizes and shapes variable - feel free to indicate a preference (e.g. small, cool color, roundish or medium size, warm color, angular)
	Portable Piercing Cradle (either assembled or as a kit). The cradle is useful for simple signature punching or piercing in the book binding process. The cradle accommodates a variety of spine lengths up to 8.75 inches. Assembly is quick and easy; when dis-assembled it breaks down into flat sections that are easy to pack and transport. The color shown may not be the color you get.
