Housing Works Bookstore Cafe on Tumblr

Stephanie’s tumblr handle is Bookavore, so for her picture we made it literal. The set and the skirt I built from her discarded piles of publishers’ proofs—no digital manipulation was involved. The “book blood” was squid ink, not particularly tasty in its pure form. Stephanie was a trooper! (via The Book Bench: 1,000 Words: Feed Me : The New Yorker) I have no words for how much I like everything about this.
