Flower / Book — I learned to make flag books at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and immediately wanted to try something unusual. I had brought a jar of peony buds from my home in Vermont to Deer Isle, Maine, and was inspired by the flowers as they came into full bloom on my work desk. Why not make a book that is also a flower . . . and even a crown?
