BOOKS OF LIFE
Deborah Karchmer has always been interested in art. “Oh, I’d paint the whole house,” she laughs. “Tables, walls, chairs. My husband is so happy now that I’m doing this.”
By “this,” she means Bella Becho, her book-creation and binding business where she handcrafts memory books, photo albums, scrap books and book covers. She started about seven years ago and since then has moved from her kitchen table to the garage to a 3,500-square-foot showroom and print bindery up in Houston’s Heights area. Her work is available at stores throughout the region and she sells at fairs and festivals.
You can also order online and her books promise to be an exquisite addition to anyone’s home. She says these are the books that hold your memories, the stories of your favorite times and people. They are also beautiful works of art.
“You might stick an old leather photo album in a drawer or on a shelf,” she says. “But these, you display. You put them out on your coffee table and they become conversation pieces.”
Holly Beretto, writer for Change Magazine
"When I find a great gift idea, I like to share. Deborah Karchmer is an artist who creates the most exquisite photograph albums and bound books of all types. Every one is a work of art. She will also create a unique one if you have a special request or theme. There are designs that every woman would love and some fantastic ones with a male theme. They begin at $40 and I promise will become family heirlooms."
