Another handmade book






I made this book in a class. The book board is covered with book binders fabric. Then each of the signatures were cut and stitched to the spine with waxed linen thread. Then the spine was embellished with yards and yards of fibers. It measures 11.25" tall x 5" deep and the spine is 3.75" wide.

'Timepiece'


Measures 7" dia. Wood base, clock movement, acrylic paint, bottle caps and mirrors.
Ok, so where did all the color come from? I guess I'm in my 'loud' period.
