Book 10, 11 12 and 13




Book 10
October 27, 2013 Book 10 was chosen and has moved to Portland, ME

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 11
Book 11 is freely and happily going to Cambridge, MA!

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.

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
