Who we are

I’m Taylor, and this is my best friend, Bandit. Together we are: The Crafty Bandit where we create whimsical, pop-culture-inspired Book Nooks; hand-built by me and supervised by Bandit.

What started as a passion for sculpting has grown into a book nook tutorial venture! My sculptures have been featured on Good Morning America, Refinery29, and local news stations, as well as being displayed at local art galleries and sold across the world.

While I handle the delicate sculpting and nook construction, the real magic happens under the watchful eye of Bandit. A rescue with a heart of gold, Bandit is the official Chief Inspector of the studio. When he isn't busy supervising my latest build, he's refining his superior fetch abilities, lobbyist-level campaigning for extra cheese, or just being the best boy in the business.

Follow us on our journey as we create tutorials for all ages from some of your favorite books, shows, and more!
