Finding Red

 
In my search for red I found some lovely pressed geraniums
 
 
and decided to make a small accordian book
 

that contains geraniums and other bits and pieces
 
I don't know what it is about these little fold out books
but I enjoy them every time I make them.
 
 
 
I enjoy the making
and then I enjoy looking at them afterwards.

    Your accordion books are delightful. I think it's the fact that we're invited to touch the art in a way that hanging art doesn't allow.
    Personal and tactile and perhaps more of a sense of possession.
    The red in this piece makes it come alive!
