“…six portfolio leaves of punctured Fabriano Classico paper…

Weiner; I see you totally focused; desperate to make the mark; staring at every
part of me; yet you can’t ever see me. Covers are laminated Davey board
lined with white, 100% cotton fabric, bound by Lea Nickless. The square shaped
portfolio style book has a small circular indentation 5 cm. in diameter, in the
center of the front cover … steel tipped, wooden dart with white turkey
feathers, and a natural color leather cord… Inside covers and flaps are
lined with Fabriano sheets. Matte Dura-Lar end sheets lie within these flaps.
