Roundabout

It all started as a small idea to turn old books into sketchbooks for my friends, and over time I’ve cemented my process of re-binding, and added finishing touches like vintage wallpaper liner pages and a library-style info card, to create hundreds of keepsake journal/sketchbooks that are truly unique.
I also block print alphabet letters on the removed book pages to create festive banners for home and celebrations. The book pages and wallpaper also add vintage charm to the my origami star ornaments, and original hand-cut silhouettes.

Concrete Jungle

Concrete Jungle is a volunteer-run organization that picks fruit from all over the Atlanta area and donates it to local homeless shelters and food banks. To date we have donated over 15,000 lbs of fruit and vegetables from neglected trees and land around the city.

We try to build as many tools as possible to aid in fruit picking and simply to make it more fun. Our exhibit features two of such tools: our bike blender that we use to make refreshing beverages during work days at our farm, and our pedal powered apple grinder, used to make apple cider at our end-of-season Ciderfest.

Interested? Come help us build drones, fruit-tree sensors, tree-shaking machines, giant stilts, inflatable tarps and more! Even if you’re not a maker yourself, we always need help throughout the season with picking, farming, outreach and logistics.
