Anyone who works in a paper studio, especially paper studios involved with bookbinding, will tell you it can be a dangerous business. Awls, punches, drills, Exacto knives, utility knives, stack cutters, needles...injuries waiting to happen. But in exchange for the privilege and joy of being an artist in the studio...totally worth it.
I've been making this Map Album by hand for several years without incident. But on this day, I got careless. I was snipping the ends off a vintage brad with some utility snips and... 
Oh well.
Here were the results:
France, Spain, Italy, NYC, Washington State, Caribbean
These Map Albums will be available at the soon-to-open Paper and More, 3802 S Lindbergh Blvd, Saint Louis, MO (314) 729-0220.

all for the sake of art, sorry you hurt yourself, although it looks you managed to keep rule #1: never bleed on your work :)
Love the map albums!
Happy 2010!
Those map books are awesome and worth the occasional injury! I've got a few crafting scars of my own!
