Book 14
Book 14: approx. 5.5x32, accordion book
Papers: Collage images from mass media, cardstock, felt,
wrapped in twine
Book 14 fulfilled my need to collage and to respond to a
recent visit to a friend’s house. My friend’s house was filled with beautiful
rich deep colors, many candles and sea glass. Book 14 was inspired by this
coziness that also was motivating. If you are perhaps looking for imagery to inspire
you to create, Book 14 would serve as an excellent backdrop to draw upon. Book
14 would also be the perfect backdrop for beginning a fall to winter sacred
space of sorts, a shrine if you will, and in fact comes with a special lotus
flower candle….
Book 14 is a $25 book

fabric wrap
Papers: Collage images from mass media, cardstock
Book 15 continued my interest and collage and urges me into
awareness that fall will turn to winter. Light begins to lessen and darkness
will eventually, beginning almost at 3pm here, take over. Oh but Book 15 sees
the cup half full, and has included inspiring images of how winter brings it’s
own vibrant light into being. On the back side of Book 15 there is plenty of
space to write your own reflections, perhaps inspired by imagery on the other
side….

Book 16
Book 16: approx.. 5x5, 80pages, self
taught longstitch, snap buttons, fabric cover
Papers: 50 lb blank, 80 lb blank, drawings
from artist’s sketchbook, original art by artist
I’m reluctant to present and describe
Book 16. But I will. Book 16 is like a sweet stray kitten that I found on the
back porch, however sweet and easy it is to have in one’s lap, it may be part
monster. It’s a little wild, significantly frayed, unyielding to hold. It’s
also my first attempt at what more professional book artists call, “longstitch”
in which I fumbled, but eventually felt quite good about. The snaps on Book 16
were an ordeal and required some outside help, however the snaps bring some
civility to Book 16 that I think you will enjoy immensely.
Book 16, due to all the new learning,
time consumption, and 80 pages, is a $55 book.
Book 17
Book 17 is skipping it's way to a lovely home in Lynn

Book 17: 2.5x4, 24 colorful pages, pamphlet stitch,
dragon/ Buddha, bead/charm
Book 17 is a simple happy colorful
book. The cover is made from a thank you card that I received. Book 17 would be
perfect if you were looking to record what you felt grateful or many thanks for
– for 24 days. Perfect for fitting in pockets or small bags, Book 17 can travel
anywhere, or stay on your night stand awaiting appreciative thoughts.
Book 17 is a $25 book
Book #16 kind of reminds me both of Beaker (from the Muppets!) and the textbook Hagrid assigns for his class in Harry Potter (you know, the one that eats things). Love this book!
