Within the Leaves - Various different bindings - this one is a Long stitch book.
A limited edition of eco-printed books that I made with different varieties of Eucalyptus leaves - windfalls, prunings and leaves left over from a local florist.
LEATHER VISITORS BOOK/SKETCHBOOK - Hand bound with Saunders Waterford watercolour paper. Variety of sizes.
This is one of my own sketchbooks so has a nicely worn cover. The cover can be reused with a new set of pages.
BOOK WITH CLAY BEADS - handmade paper, jute cord, linen thread.
Exposed sewn binding.
DETAIL OF LEATHER BOOK - made with leather offcuts.
This was a project made with children using leaves from plants and herbs collected from their own gardens
SILVER BIRCH BOOK - silver birch bark, paper and linen thread.
I was a ‘looker’ at one time for some Exmoor ponies on Chailey Common and one season there was a lot of silver birch logs that had been cleared. I collected small pieces of the bark which had fallen off the logs as the weeks went by.
LA TOURETTE - LE CORBUSIER - a set of six leather goatskin, exposed sewn bindings. Handmade paper, waxed linen thread.
This is a one off boxed set of books that recorded photos, sketches and paintings I made whilst staying at La Tourette near Lyon, France.
