\nEach of these beautiful artists\u2019 books has multiple delicate components (from a grape vine cradle to bottomless, etched, hand-blown glass bottle) that are going to require extra attention and a little creativity when it comes to housing them. Chris Voynovich, our box-maker extraordinaire, was assigned to create a clamshell box for Spirit Book #11<\/a>, while I was assigned to construct one for Any Number of Things<\/a>\u2026since Ashleigh said \u201cmy eyes lit up when I saw it!\u201d Chris and I cannot wait to start working on the enclosures for these amazing books; they are going to be very fun to work on.
\nI decided to kick off the fun before the box-making magic even started and created these little gifs during the photo documentation process. Enjoy!
\nWe’ll post our enclosure solutions soon, check back! <\/a>
