 Book 22
Book 22 has been chosen and is happily on it's way to Medfield, MA

Book 22: approx. 4.5 H x 6W, 50 pages, cover made with paper from “The World of Birds”, hand sewn with waxed linen, bound with waxed linen and found shell

Paper: a wide variety of papers, both artistic and blank, graph, vintage maps, artist made paper from placing dye into bubble solution and blowing bubbles onto the page, card stock, images of clouds, vellum, envelopes, pages from vintage sea observations

Book 22 is certainly for the observer, be it the stars, moon or the sea, or anything really that changes and grows, or decomposes. Book 22 opens flat and generously invites you to write, draw, doodle, or simply makes marks in time to rhythms that you hear. Book 22 is a no-drama book, more on the scientific, creative and a bit sensitive side.

Book 22 is a $25 book.

Book 23

Book 23 was chosen before it could have a photo shoot, yes it’s true.  Book 23 was a lovely 3.5 x4 book with 40 pages and a small rock and hand waxed linen wrap. Book 23 had a variety of pages, some original art by the artist, as well as vintage pages from “The World of Birds”. It was chosen with enthusiasm and now adventures in Portland, Maine.

Paper: Hokusai and Hiroshige recycled 2008 calendar, variety of 50lb, 80lb and textured white paper

Book 24 contains beautiful images by Hokusai and Hiroshige, in-between these images are blank paper in which you may fill with Japanese inspired imagery, landscapes or daily life activities.
