Couture textile book created with up-cycled clothing and textiles. Each flower is custom made especially for the cover of this hardbound book. This is book 23 in the series Love Sonnets from Shakespeare to Baltimore. All parts of this book were created by Suzanne Coley.
An intricate linocut of a woman's face is hand printed on a 1950s vintage cotton quilt fragment and combined with contemporary Asian fabrics.
Over 50 custom made fabric roses and florals decorate the hard bound cover.
A hand painted fuchsia end sheet with a silkscreen of Shakespeare's Sonnet LXXXV is positioned next to a vibrant floral patchwork of jacquard and silk.
