I took a pictures of a small pink Chinese bowl that I throw small bits of waxed linen thread and fortunes. Using my favorite Android phone application, FX Camera, I shot the waxy string and bits of paper up close and made this little book. My friend Anita came over so we could figure out a new book structure- a longstitch style neither of us has done before. The covers are simple printmaking paper and offset the black pages nicely. I'm thankful for good fortunes, good friends and my amazing, supportive family.
