This sculpture was made from reclaimed books that would have otherwise been thrown away. But look! They can have a second life...as something utterly captivating. What could be better than having your favorite stories immortalized forever and hanging on your wall? What if the words that helped define and shape your life could be forever felt with their essence locked into a sculpture? When you install this artwork in your home...people will gravitate towards it. Is it fabric? Is it water? Woodland mushrooms? What IS it? They'll want to touch it, to make sure it is real. No one has ever seen anything like it. What is that I see? Beethoven? Handel? Kayne? Is that a handwritten note on a page? Its the most amazing thing to look at from afar as well as up close. This piece was roughly 4 feet high x 4 feet wide. The interior is comprised of various different sizes of books, between 5.5" all the way down to 2" inches depth and was created for a specific place in the client's home in Chicago. You may send me the dimensions you would prefer. All sculptures are custom created. I incorporated books that represented her family: music! I can use your old books or look for specific titles as well. This buyer wanted a square-ish sculpture. Each page is folded, tipped, quilled, wrapped, rolled, pulled by my two hands, for a very intricate unique, artist-led design. Your artwork's patterns and layers will emerge organically and will be incomparable to any other sculpture I create or anything that can be bought elsewhere.

A beautiful, custom wooden crate is crafted around the sculpture and it is suspended within for safe travel to your desired destination. The entire shipment will have a scheduled delivery (you get to schedule it) and it weighs 150-250 pounds, depending on size (the sculpture alone will weigh less but still be 100-150 pounds). These are both massively heavy and delicate. Never was there such a fun paradox! Unboxing and Hanging Suggestions will be sent after purchase and most customers hang themselves with 2-3 friends to assist with a simple drill and screws. People have hung them on anything from Florida plaster to drywall with wood studs to concave stairwells to drywall with metal studs, etc. Handmade in my studio, on a little southeast barrier island in the USA. Inspiration comes from my micro-homestead, the woods, the salt marshes I travel over and the salty sea we frequent weekly. Designers & Curators please contact me with any questions. Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot Copyright 2012.

Kantha is a specific style of embroidery originating from India, mainly Bangladesh and West Bengal. It consists of vintage cotton or silk saris which are layered on top of each other and stitched together with a simple running stitch throughout the fabric and along the edges. Typically, a minimum of three cotton or silk sari layers make up each piece of kantha fabric. This forms a thin, light quilt that is soft, comfortable and cool. Kantha blankets' primary original purpose was to serve as blankets to sleep in. As you can see, there are endless functional and beautiful uses for kantha! In addition to being extremely versatile and aesthetically pleasing, kantha is also environmentally-friendly choice as it is created by repurposing vintage cotton or silk saris. Each kantha item has its own story to tell, and no two items are alike! Sometimes there may be a little wear in the top layer exposing the gorgeous, eye-catching layer beneath, or sometimes they may sport a little patching adding to the charismatic appeal. Here at Turquoise Tree Designs you can purchase the traditional handmade vintage quilts and also many accessories made from kantha quilts. I use many of the items in my campervan, kitchen, and home. The fabric is scrumptiously soft, absorbent and quick to dry! Please have a browse around – I’m sure you will find a unique and exquisite gift for a friend, loved one, or yourself!
