Turquoise Circle Book

Turquoise circle book coverTurquoise circle book back

The cloth for this book was a piece of indigo batik cloth that I bought in Japan.  I had just enough for a baby’s bath yukata, and when my babies grew out of it, I saved the cloth.  The transparent rainbow embroidered overlay is something I picked up in the scrap bin at Jo Ann’s, and the turquoise circle was a piece of jewelry that I found inside a jacket I bought at a used clothing store.  On the spine are beads, stone dyed to look like turquoise, and fired porcelain with cobalt.  It’s not visible in this picture, but there are smears of blue and yellow mica pigments embedded in the fabric.

 This book is approx. 3″ x 4″ x 1/2″.
