Taking a break from the sadness of the world - since the limited edition 21st Century Nursery Rhymes book is nearly sold out, I’m trying to do a small factory run version heavily inspired by Geraldine Klyne’s series of Jolly Jump-Ups — horizontal, six spreads, all die cuts and folds, no glue tabs.

Finally posting. I launched a pre-sale for my new pop-up book, 21st Century Nursery Rhymes, this week. mariannerpetitbooks.bigcartel.com/product/21st...

The world lost a remarkable light last night, Jo-Anne Green. In her last year, she created a stunning body of work, “DEATH: Liminal Spaces & The Metaphors That Bridge Them. Cancer, Black Holes, and the Cryosphere.” Please read and look. I’ll miss you, dear friend.
