In September, I was fortunate to attend Squam Art Workshops with three good friends. The experience was amazing, and sharing it with these ladies made it perfect.
As we left New Hampshire, we vowed to extend the magical feeling of shared wonder in a Round Robin book exchange.
Four books are currently flying around the East Coast.
Above are some photos of my book - eARTh. Just today Karen's book landed on my doorstep and I can't wait to work in it -- the first manifestation (I've seen) of my friends' work. It's awesome and inspiring.Check back.

ReplyDeleteDear Stiffie:
I watched this book being born in both the studio and the kitchen. First the basic treatment of the covers... Then the metal work... And finally, layer after layer of color mixed and affixed to each page.
I knew better than to talk during this process. But I was grateful you let me breathe.
Sincerely,
The Man In The Room Adjacent To The Kitchen, Where You are Practicing To Be A Life Coach To The Dogs
This is beautiful, Leslie. Not only are you a talented photographer but you're also a gifted book designer. I'm looking forward to seeing the pages you'll create for Karen, Isabel and Eb's books.
ReplyDeleteThe binding and color, the beautiful pages...I will wait "patiently" (not) until I can feel your book with my hands and experience its magic.
ReplyDeleteYour work is always so layered and perfectly made. You are an artist my dear.
