Memories of the Sea (a book)

Sheila Schaeffer-Hirsh

This exposed spine coptic sewn book has painted wooden covers. The window is covered with Mica and has shells inside. It has a frame of etched brass and leather clasps. This very time consuming book has the elements of medieval bindings.

Tiny Book with Enamel Surprise

Blank pages sewn with leather cords. Cover is made of etched copper with a decorative enameled plate – the inside has a window with a surprise. I learned this sewing as a class at Shake Rag in TN. I am happy to have a way to show my enameled art.

Small Book with Clasp

Exposed spine coptic stitch sewing. Sewn endbands, attached leather clasp. Covers made of etched copper. The challenge of this book was sewing the endbands and attaching the clasp.
