Paperclipping 5.5 - Interview with Minibook and Altered Book Expert, Dedra Long
I have never seen minibooks like the ones Dedra Long creates.
Photos don’t quite demonstrate the dimensionality, the unique items, or the stunning details that characterize her books. The one you see here appeared in the book, Mini Albums II, from Scrapbook Trends.
I was fortunate enough to see and touch some of Dedra’s minibooks and altered books in person. I realized later that evening that I had a zillion questions running through my mind on how she did what she did. This is why I was so excited to interview her this week and ask all my burning questions!
I hope you enjoy the listening to the audio podcast interview as you look at the photos below of one of Dedra’s fabulous books.

Dedra.
