Melissa Oesch is an eco-friendly Kentucky artist and the owner/designer of ReImagined by Luna, which offers handcrafted, one-of-a-kind journals, sketchbooks and other unique creations from upcycled materials.  She grew up on a wooded farm in Eastern Kentucky, spending half of her time playing among the trees and the other half devouring books and filling up journals.  Melissa began bookbinding in 2005 and deeply appreciates the meditative quality it offers.  Initially, she started crafting books because she found journaling to be transformative in her own life.   She enjoys the challenge of re-imagining her materials by incorporating discarded and recycled textiles.  She is mostly self-taught, experimenting with different techniques and combinations.  Her inspiration comes from nature, ancient spiritual traditions, and anything whimsical, which she intertwines with ideas of function.  Because Melissa creates with repurposed materials, each piece is unique.  Melissa is a member of the KY Guild of Artists and Craftsmen and received First Place in Fine Craft at Madison Chautauqua in 2011.
