Book 10: 4x6, 25pages, Japanese stitch binding with hand
waxed thread, leather cover front and back
Pages: from the “World of Birds”, 50lb blank, wool, felt
Box: approx.. 4.5x8, handmade from artists previous work, red wool
wrap
Ohh Book 10, being Book 10 I guess I had some unconscious
hopes that Book 10 would be a “10”. Intended to be a luxurious book, Book 10 is
made with a front and back cover of soft brown leather and has a Japanese
stitch for binding, along with hand waxed thread I might add. However as I
punctured the pages for stitching, they all shifted, which lead to a series of
trying to “fix” Book 10. After sewing I tried to realign the pages and ever so
slightly trim the ends, which lead to ever more needing to fix- all the while
Book 10 protested that it was fine just as it was- is……I listened and took the evening away. When I returned I
compassionately stopped trying to fix Book 10 and instead created a comforting box
to hold it in, a nested accepting environment. If you ever had someone try to
fix you, when you really didn't need any fixing of any sort, and then wished that something
else in the environment would change, well then, Book 10 is eager to have a
conversation with you.
Mostly due to therapy costs Book 10 is a $55 book.

Book 1: 6.5x5.5, 20 pages, pamphlet stitch binding with hand
waxed thread, wood bead button
Pages: from the “World of Birds”, 50lb blank and colored, artist’s
original artwork
Book 11 is the young yogi apprentice of Book 8. Book 11
looks very similar to Book 8 however is a little more simple and grounded. With
the faux fur wrap and wood bead button Book 11 is lovely to hold and with pages
from “The World of Birds” and old world imagery, Book 11 is also quite smart. Book
11 hopes to join the Peace Corps and generally wants to volunteer and
contribute to the betterment of humanity…. it’s entire life, and travel……really.
Book 11 is a $25, however Book 11 is free to go to any home
that truly wants it and that can convince Book 11 that s/he also wants to contribute
to the good for all.
And send the artist a message.
Book 12 and 13
Book 12 and 13: approx.. 5.5x6, 20 pages
each, pamphlet stitch, waxed linen, bound with wool
Pages: from the “World of Birds”, 50lb blank and colored, artist’s
original artwork
Book 12 and 13 have requested to be photographed and
presented together. Each are made from bird nest imagery from previous artwork
by the artist. Book 12 and 13 are twins of a sort, they don’t have to live in the
same home, but could. They prefer to stay connected in some way, perhaps you
have a best friend and intend to write when you are together- Book 12 and 13
would be ecstatic if this were the case. Or perhaps you have twin children…..or
have a friend that recently moved away and want a gift that can keep you
together in some way. Book 12 and 13 are perfect for drawing or writing and
then-sharing.
Book 12 and 13 as a set are $55
