the cover

Valentine's Day, 2002, I had a whole lot of creativity and not so much by way of cash. I went out, bought a used book from a local store, and a remainder book of legends of the 20th Century at a chain store, and decided to make my gift, rather than buy it.

I painted this cover with Jacquard textile paints (metallic, which look just like Lumiere), and affixed the hand with gel medium. The words are hand-stamped.
