This is what started me on my creative frenzy.

I made a book for Jeanne

for her 10th anniversary 

at

Bunnies

I had a very old photo album made

of leather...I dismantled it and 

used the front and back.

I  had another old chinese poetry book

I glued pages together to make

them sturdy.

The front is covered in a waxed parchment

separated into squares by bamboo

I also had this very old chinese box

that made the perfect wrapping.

The front has a little leather coin purse

and a silk handmade napkin holder that

is crochet rings with a bow.

And a soldered copper charm and 

a silver bunny earring I took apart...

Inside front cover...her artwork in the middle

Inside the leather pouch is a charm...

"yes we can"

On a "Quaker Relief" stamp 

her picture...and red thread

This was a black and white photo copy

of BBTB logo...I water colored

 and covered in wax

Here is a hand colored picture of 

...Bunny Crew...

Everyone wrote a short essay on what they 

appreciated

 about 

Jeanne

I made a page of the person

 and their essay...

Here is Suzanne and Bea

Here is Cory's page

I cut out a running bunny on each page

...little bits of thought...

...a copy of the famous letter

Jeanne 

sent to us 10 years ago...

This is the last page.  

I cut out 2 drawers.

One holds a necklace on a red string

the other holds 10 candles

This labour of love... opened the flood gates...

to what was to follow...
