BIRD ALPHABET BOOKS - by RUTH VENNER

A 6x8cm concertina book covering A to Z on its pages. An ideal gift or just a treasure to own, this is the work of Ruth Venner, a prominent calligrapher-artist in Australia. Each handmade book is exquisitely made – displaying an Aussie bird for each letter of the alphabet. Each bird also has a description, which gives its Latin name, plus a few of its characteristics in Ruth’s own words.

The originals were all done on calligraphers vellum (fine leather sheets) and many are gilded in gold leaf. This really cute small book contains colour photocopies of those vellum originals. The book ends are covered with an Asian handmade mulberry paper, painted with an abstract design, and tie bound with 2 silk ribbons. Some detail of a few of the pages is shown in these last 2 pictures, ‘Y’ellow Tailed Black Cockatoo, plus the ‘F’riar Bird and ‘H’oney Eater page.

The cost is AUS$55.00 each.

Since making this book, Ruth has expanded the "Bird Alphabet" book, with other subjects.

Also another version of the "Bird Alphabet" book. This one contains miniature copies of the original ABC Birds book, with a larger brushstoke painted bird filling the page.

These books also sell for AUS$55.00 each.
