The Little Tree |
|
a little pop-up book... |
Week 51 book-of-the-week is titled
The Little Tree. It's a small pop-up book about
4 x 4½ inches with a flat back spine of hand marbled bookcloth and wrinkled paste paper cover.
|
marbled bookcloth and pastepaper cover.. |
Hand lettered and painted with acrylics.
|
open up! |
The fun with pop-ups is when you open the first page...and then the second... and then the third! Actually pop-up books are ALL fun.
|
Little Tree sheltered by her mother and aunties... |
|
grew and grew and grew... |
|
until one day Little Tree looked around and saw she was sheltering the older trees. |
|
and she was very happy |
Sometimes time passes by so quickly that in what seems a blink of an eye the clock has turned full circle... a year has passed... two years, ten years, thirty years or more...and a person finds they have moved through the stages of life... The Little Tree is about that change in status during a lifetime.. that choreography of being.
