Hope: exterior smokey doors.
This is a 4 inch by 4 inch 'chunky page' made fro altered_mommy's book-for-auction for the Canadian Cancer Society. The theme was 'hope'. I didn't want to be maudlin; I wanted to convey strength and vitality. So, I hit upon the theme of the phoenix rising from the ashes. This is the interior of the page with behind the two smoke-like doors of Japanese paper with the stylized text/arrows 'HOPE'. The doors are held shut by knotted embroidery thread and a glass bead.
