I started Bookshelf in hopes of having it ready for an art show of my work at Annie's Bookstop in Framingham, MA, but after an initial push, realized I wouldn't make that time table. The books are made from home decorating fabrics, with a corduroy bookshelf and more home dec fabrics for the vase and flowers. Bookshelf took third prize at the Framingham Artists Guild show at the Framingham Public Library in June 2010. My artwork is mounted on foam core, which creates a light-weight but rigid piece with a wire for hanging and a felt backing. It is treated with a sun-block spray, although prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may eventually cause fading.
