Book 6
Book 6: Approx 2 x 2, cardstock cover, 50lb paper, gold
elastic
Book 6 was a reprieve from Book 5, in which I taught myself
Japanese stab stitch binding, I feel like I learned the real meaning of those
words. To take time to heal, Book 6 was made without the awl nor the needle (my
favorite broke while stitching book 5). Book 6 is a little love, and provides
you with ample opportunity to write little love messages to others or to
yourself. The gold elastic binding holds it all together, a small treasure for
sure.
$25
Book 7
Book 7: Approx 8 x 10, felt paper
cover, Japanese stitch binding with turquoise waxed linen, 20 pages, cardstock
sleeve cover/holder
Papers: brown craft, traditional
school lined, 50lb blank, original art by artist, open paper sleeve, cardstock
Book 7 continues my learning of
the Japanese stitch binding and has helped to build my confidence. Book 7 stays
snug in the sleeve I made for it, with room to contain whatever you may
contribute. 20 pages keeps it simple and yet refreshing. Book 7 could easily be
exhibited, shared, or kept all for yourself. I like Book 7 very much, if you
like Book 7 very much, it is a $25 book.

Book 8 has been chosen and is on it's way to Ipswich, MA, slow and steady
Book 8: Outer cover approx. 5x6, inside pages approx. 4.5x5,
26 pages, hand sewn with waxed linen, includes wool and a one of a kind carved
wooden button
Papers: 50lb blank, artist’s original artwork, vellum (clear
and colored), found art (found in one of my classes)
Book 8 was made after a long yoga class and a deep sleep.
Book 8 is calm, centered and ready to start the day with ginger lemon tea &
honey. Book 8 sets the tone for being
with, reviewing, contemplating and enjoying
life. Book 8 is ideal for recording what is most important, doodling, and
finding links between the two. The luxurious faux wool and one of a kind carved
button makes Book 8 a $55 book.
Book 9
Book 9: Outer cover approx. 5x8, inside pages approx. 4x6, 40
pages, hand sewn with waxed linen, includes wool and three copper buttons
Papers: 50lb blank, artist’s original artwork, vellum (clear
and colored), found art (found in one of my classes)
Book 9 is Book 8’s more serious partner. Book 9 studied the psychological
and biological aspects of yoga and is most interested in the idea that everything
is interconnected. I have once seen Book 9 wearing glasses, upon confronting
Book 9, Book 9 says that it’s vision is fine, but it hopes to see with even
more clarity. If your quest (or daily goal) is to see more clearly what is and to begin complicated
conversations in coffee houses, then Book 9 is for you. Book 9 is rightly a $55
book.
