DO YOU REALIZE HOW MAGNIFICENT YOU ARE?

This is a leather & felt bound textile book, with the softness of wet felted pages, inviting you to touch and feel the textures within the book. It isn’t just a collection of pages; but a sequence of personal experiences and stories.

With each page having a different narrative, the book brings comfort and nostalgia as well as moments of sadness and highlighing the tougher times that life often brings us. The pages tell stories of personal growth and strength. With each page being hand decorated to resemble the overcoming of these challenges but also embracing the beauty of imperfection. 

The book pages are wet and needle felted by hand, with screenprint and embroidered elements incorporated throughout.
