Spirit Book #86 is underway. The cradle is made from two pieces of birch bark, one found on Plum Island last summer and one at Maudslay State Park on the first day of spring. 

The pages are made from a gray amate paper from Mexico and a paper from Bhutan. There is stitching with gold and silver thread and a small metal circle ( I bought a package to repair a piece of jewelry)  on each page. The binding and base are still to be done.

I'll be bringing home the first three I made this year from Mercy Center (which I didn't have time to photograph) in early May and hope to have a few more new ones to photograph at the same time.
