Red Hat Book

Size: 7 x 20 cm (closed)

Materials & Technique: concertina book; hand-lettering printed on paper, cut into shapes and hand-coloured

Price: $30 (AU) + postage

Description: This book makes an ideal gift for ladies in the Red Hat Society, as well as any other people who love Jenny Joseph’s poem “Warning”, and/or the colours purple and red. I have hand-lettered the poem and created this book with the pages shaped as ladies wearing the words in their dresses.
(Jenny Joseph’s poem is the mantra of the Red Hat Society, a social organization whose primary purpose is social interaction and bonding among older women).
