Practical Magic...

First post from Italy! But not new Italy art sadly, still catching up on posting all the work I made this semester. So, andiamo!!!

For our Artist's Books collaboration this last semester we chose the theme 'Spell Book.' We all interpreted it our own way then made enough mini books for everyone in the class to have one of ours and vice versa (ie- 14 mini books!).

I have these two Foxfire books from my grandpa. They're basically manly men guides to living and surviving in the wilderness. Everything from the art of moonshining to bear hunting to log cabin building is in described within them. Including natural, alledged remedies for common ailments....

All of them!

Each book has four herbal 'remedies' with the ingredients needed in order to administer the cure...
