The five pages of this book are made with mica, Moriki paper, plant materials gathered from my yard & favorite forests, feathers & snake skin sheds from a nearby wetland & butterfly specimens from an inherited archive. Each page is edged with Moriki paper, as are the covers. The covers are made with collaged leather, using a technique called Lacunose, over book boards. The binding is a wire edge style using brass rods & linen thread. Book label is laser etched mica over seed fluff and paper. Housed in a box of book board covered with custom painted book cloth. A partial carp skeleton from Jackson Lake is attached to a Lacunose tray base. The tray platform is cast acrylic with Moriki paper edging. The box labels are laser etched mica over paper.
