I recently took a mini book making class with Seth Apter. I adore taking classes with him. He’s so fun. So passionate. So creative. And so good at teaching. I try to take what I learn and put a Sarah twist on it. He’s already the perfect Seth Apter. The world doesn’t need another.
So I started this book in the class, and then put it on a shelf, and there it sat for a while. I was going to start a new project, but I made myself complete this one before I started another book. I am so glad I did. I so enjoyed both the process and the outcome. It’s a sweet little book with a little poem I wrote all about why I love the sea.

The cover has a block print I created of a quahog shell, and I wrote out my poem on an old typewriter I have. There’s a tiny bit of some fabric I printed cyanotypes of seaweed on to, and some papers I made with dyes, paints, rust, tea, etc. as well as some tissue paper I’d been saving for absolute ages. I think I found the perfect use for it!!!
You can visit my Instagram for more of my love of the sea, or my new collaboration with my sister for some of the creations we’ve been making…
