e bond teaches art workshops & creates fabric collections by day, makes handmade books by night, hangs out with trees on weekends and writes something close to poems in the spaces between. Under the studio name roughdrAftbooks—created in 2003—she makes one-of-a-kind artists books, printed pieces and abstract drawings that merge and blur the boundaries of art, craft, surface design and poetry.

e holds a BFA in graphic design and art history from Moore College of Art & Design and an MFA in Creative Writing and Book Art from Mills College. Her work is held in library collections across the US and has been published in Uppercase Magazine, Berkeley Poetry Review, 500 Handmade Books, as well as numerous books (about books). Most recently, e’s work has moved into the wonderful world of surface design where she has designed many colorful, abstract fabric collections in collaboration with Free Spirit Fabrics
