dear readers..
 |
| front cover of Fleurs, mini concertina |
in the article I share the techniques
I used to make my ribbon hinged books..
 |
| The inside of Poetique (Sunflowers) the inside reads, Sunflowers... |
as always, I am grateful to
have a platform to teach others
to stretch out
creatively...
 |
| The back and front cover of the mini concertina, Poetique |
The substrate is
heavy watercolor paper,
papered with antique French book pages
and sanded back and then painted...
all hand sketched with pen and ink
on
tracing paper
to allow the background to come through..
peeking inside a garden...
to find a treasure...

"I have a garden all my own, but so with roses overgrown...
that you might deem it such mess, but truly it's my
wilderness"
