The construction and form of the bookwork set it apart from ordinary mass market books. It is a craft object where content and form come together to create an artwork that can be admired for its physical beauty and engaged with by opening it up.
Books can take our minds away from the present moment into the realm of imagination, memory and aspiration. Likewise the bookwork is a vehicle for thought and expression. This blog looks at the book as art and all things related to books.

the heart a symbol of love is black rather than the usual red.....
Depending on the emotion in the box ... it might be interesting to have the lid lined with something spiky, maybe pins? Black hearts - very resonant for me!
