My Love
8.5 x 5.5 x .75 inches, 48 pagesHand lettered in gouache and acrylic on FairChild handmade paper. Paper covered boards, linen thread, coptic bound. Case.
My Love features Marlowe’s, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,” Raleigh’s later response, “The Nymph’s Reply,” and I wrote an updated, “Hey” about modern love, social media and new customs. This was fun to make. Working outside at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine, FairChild's bright, funky papers were sometimes sprinkled with spruce needles and raindrops. She gave me her paper when she moved and for years, I had no idea what to do with it. Now I love the challenge of the wrinkles and especially her colors. At Kelmscott Book Shop.
