THREAD
PSBA is sponsoring their 6th Annual Book Exchange this month, with the theme "threads." The exchange rules are simple -- create a book using that theme, in whatever form and using whatever materials you like. The book you create is then delivered to a randomly selected participating book artist, and you similarly receive an artist book created by another participating artist. It's a lovely idea, the books are great and each participating artist gets to add a wonderful new book to their collection.
Continuing my trend of cleverly-titled books, my "entry" is called THREAD. I created it by altering a mailing advert from the Sundance Catalog (which used a single sheet of paper, folded into six nesting panels). With the addition of some spray paint, some collage, some thread and some hand-cut vinyl lettering, it emerged as this:

A Raven
A Raven
(7/5/24)
I saw
the body of a dead raven today as I was driving the freeway south to
Seattle. I only caught a fleeting
glimpse as I passed by, but was startled by how large it was. Slick black feathers swayed in the breeze of
cars speeding by inches away, and nobody seemed to notice. It seemed an ignominious end for such a
magnificent bird. I wanted to take it
into my arms and carry it to a safer place (is any place safe when you’re dead?)
but I did not stop. There were friends
waiting for me in Seattle and I was busy.
We’re all busy. Busy living. Busy dying.
