The written word. Once only available to the few, these compilations were valued as objects as much as for content. In the 21st century, the production of books and paper has become cheap and easy. Though to many, they are treasures still. There are artists that honor and explore this fascination with books in their art. Whether through fabrication, alteration, or a combination of these, the artist-made book and its pages are a unique and beautiful form of expression.

The real secret of this piece is the small book heart that is kept safe in the pocket. The piece of fabric on the front of the pocket has "pocket" typed with my vintage typewriter and then fastened on with beads. All writing is hand written with black rapido pens. The tag has been colored with watercolor crayons and embellished with felt hearts.
