Nails in a Coffin, 1861-1865
ALEX and his wonderful, one-man production company (Ninja Space Monkey), finished this video of my artist book. The book is the result of an experiment using rusty nails and silk. I am totally indebted to the group of talented fiber artists on the Fiber Art Friends blog ring for introducing me to this idea and sharing their results as well as excellent instructions for the process.

I like the fact that the repetition of the nails textile reinforces the theme---same old same old, no matter how the world changes. Poignant and powerful.
What a wonderful book Susan and a lovely presentation. That was a very clever and sensitive way of using the rusty nails on silk.
The book is awesome, Susan. And the presentation fit the subjecct. Thanks for sharing this.
It is fantastic. And I am one of the lucky ones to know that not only does it LOOK fantastic but, if granted the opportunity to see it first hand, it FEELS fantastic as well. And I can imagine the details. And even the smell. You are truly amazing.
