More about Ken:
For Keeps Sake is happy to welcome Ken Oliver {Mr. Unibind}. We met him and immediately fell in love with his personality, sense of humor and art abilities. Now we're bringing him from Atlanta to St. Louis so you may meet him as well. Ken joined the Unibind company and discovered he could combine the love of his careeer with art, design and crafting. He is accomplished in paper crafting, altered art, mixed media book and craft projects. And, what you might not know, Ken loves to craft with other peoples trash. You would most likely find him looking for discarded boxes, packaging, unusual paper and found objects to use in his creations.
