About the Artist – Michael DeCesare
Michael DeCesare writes:
"Photography is my first language, and I try to speak softly in color, light, and tone. I do not enforce my will on a digital negative with software skills. Instead, I collaborate with an image as one would with a trusted friend, making a journey of discovery together. A deep, personal commitment to environmental preservation underscores my pledge to do no harm and leave no trace wherever I shoot."
Selected elements from Michael’s photography are carefully reproduced for our bookmarks, pairing his imagery with Mitercraft’s handcrafted hardwood designs.
The tranquil forest photograph and inspiring friendship message make this bookmark a small but meaningful reminder of the enduring beauty of nature and the bonds we share.
Craftsmanship and Stewardship Make the Difference
At Mitercraft, our inspiration comes from the hundred-acre forest that surrounds us, where towering firs, cedars, and lush ferns flourish. We hand-select sustainably harvested wood to celebrate its natural beauty, crafting each product with care and pride. Since 1991, we’ve been dedicated to the art of handcrafted woodworking, combining time-honored techniques with modern technology to create heirloom-quality bookmarks. Every step of our process—cutting, shaping, sanding, polishing, laser engraving, and finishing—is carried out with precision and love. Our commitment to the environment extends beyond our products, with thoughtful recycling practices that ensure each piece is unique. When you receive a Mitercraft bookmark, you’re holding a small piece of art, created with care from start to finish.
