I made a little book! Writing the tributes to my Uncle Fred and my dad online was really great, but I felt like they needed to be inside something special! I've had a small ream of old yellowing paper in my collection of "Yes I'll take that! I'll find something to do with it....someday!" And indeed this was the perfect project. Pictured is the first 10 of an addition of 20 individual books each printed on vintage paper. Each cover is hand painted on Rives BFK with gouache and watercolor and sewn on the sewing machine. (Thanks Nancy!!!!) Each little book contains the tribute to Uncle Fred (F.N. Wright) and my dad (David Lee), as well as two small "observations" I wrote almost 14 years ago. I enjoyed making these so much, you can bet I will be making more books in the near future. If you would like to have a copy of your own, you can purchase them here! www.wrighthome.etsy.com
