TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Thanks to Griffin's (The Fabrics of Fairy Tale) luxuriously appliquéd and embroidered collages and handmade-paper constructions, the 12 days of Christmas here add up to a visual feast. Sequins, beads, buttons, richly dyed fabrics and more embellish these spreads in celebration of the traditional carol about true love and creative gift-giving.
