"At the root of all art, I believe there is life. And life encourages art. Everything is a self-portrait. Embrace it." ~ Elise Joy Blaha

While on a trip to Kauai, Elise Blaha made this album using Kolo Havana divider tabs. It's one of her favorite albums among the many she's made. Here's what she blogged about it:

The covers were Kolo photo box dividers that I punched holes in and joined with book rings.

I used tags to separate the days : stamped the date on the front and wrote what we did that day on the back.

The "guts" of the book are all sorts of things: business cards, tickets, restaurant coasters, postcards, napkins and of course, Polaroids. It was great to have a Polaroid camera on the trip because I could just snap a photo and stick it in.

Which is excellent. As I have yet to get a single digital photo (or my rolls of film) printed yet.

This is the second time re-purposed Kolo Havana divider tabs have appeared on Koloist. Remember Patrick Ng's mind.Depositor?
