This is my triptych book and the theme is childhood memories of mom. Mom gave me her children's story book when I was a little girl. It was given to her at 4 years old by her older sister. These are some of the illustrations.
I found another copy of the book in a used book store and bought it so I could use the pages in my journal work as the original book is too special to me to rip up.
This one of 7 books is called Up One Pair of Stairs. It is filled with many classic stories and I loved this book to death. Almost literally. The book was falling from its binding and many pages were torn. I took it in to a book maker years ago when my mom was still alive and had the binding fixed. I was amazed what a great job they did and so was mom. And I think she was quite touched when she saw it all put right.
I think it may be finished. This is the book I made in Roxanne's workshop the thread that weaves
I had a great time making this book and have another 3 in the works. Roxanne is very inspirational and I love her art as well as her gentle way she guides us in this workshop.
