That is super cool!! Congratulations, Becky!!
thanks guys!
i should also mention another toronto connection - mark laliberte (of carousel magazine) has his 'pop noir' button project profiled in the 'packs' section of the book.
if you haven't seen this project of his, it is pretty amazing - all artist comissions in limited runs and beautiful packaging.
