Mountain Snow


This book pays homage to my love of snow and high places. The hexagonal box is stored in a silk bag with ribbon tie and antique lace trim. A six-panel roll-out book is secured to one side of the box with a small bone crochet hook.


After removing the book, it is set up around the box and hand-cut two-dimensional accordions pull out to form an actual snowflake.


The six accordions are actual silhouettes of four peaks I have climbed in Oregon and Washington, and two I wish I could climb, Denali and Everest. Behind each mountain is a pocket holding several hand-cut snowflakes, which are to be scattered about when the book is set up for display.
