Full of passion and an insatiable desire to create, Colorado artist Michael Merriman throws himself into every project he undertakes. After exploring in multiple media such as photography, wood and metal, he currently is experiencing another avenue of his talents: bookbinding. He beautifully binds leather and handmade paper together using traditional methods as well as inventive techniques of his own. Michael cuts and works several different tans of leather, creates and prepares distinctive, decorative, archival, handmade papers, and binds the two together with six-ply parachute tack cord to craft durable and everlasting books for everyone to enjoy. The handmade paper is acid-free and archival to protect the life of everything put on and in between them. During the Craft + Design Show on Nov. 20-21, Mike will be located at Booth 14.
