surviving the sea.

fellow philadelphia margaux kent of the black spot books / peg and awl fame ( hand bound leather book/ tiny book necklace empress) has just released a limited edition book, 'the illness apprentice'  featuring her stunning melancholic, narrative photographs. they make me miss the sea as if it were a person, a ghost.

xo.

the black spot books.

although margaux kent (who is a fellow philadelphian & etsy cabinet of curiosities team member) of the black spot books is becoming widely known for her incredible handmade, vintage leather books// book necklaces, she is also an amazing photographer. her painter husband walter kent is returning home soon from being away for a year at war and i'm pleased to say that they will have a joint show at the toothless cat gallery next year. if you're so inclined, take a peek at their lovely wedding video, 'an ever- sure antidote to despair' that took place in iceland last year.
