Book 41


 
 

 
 
Book 41
Book 41 was chosen while it was still being created, that's really how special Book 41 is.
Book 41 is on it's way to Providence, RI, where it will continue to be quite special.
 

Book 41: approx. 4 x4x, 50 pages, longstitch with handwaxed thread, hand embroidered felt wrap with wood button.
Papers: artist doodles while at a conference in attachment psychotherapy, 50lb and 80lb blank paper, cover paper is black and white origami paper.
Book 41 was a delight to make, in part because I was with two close friends who are brilliant intellectually and creative and also amazingly caring. Book 41 holds curious doodles that were made while I was in a conference on attachment psychology, so Book 41 has a lovely energy and desire for a healthy connection. Book 41 certainly would like to be held a lot, and carried around daily, hourly perhaps. I’m sad that you reading now cannot choose Book 41, however it’s a joy to know Book 41 is in the world, and who knows, if you are in Providence on a special day, you may see Book 41.

  1. Book 41 has arrived to her caring nest of a home in Providence, Ri. She will be loved and held. I think she will sleep right next to my bedside. Maybe even in side sometimes. And she will carry the words and ides to create an unwritten book called 'raising little girl', perfect for an attachment book! xoxox
