Handstitched Clamshell Book Sculptures by Odelae (Erica Ekrem)

“An ode to the Salish Sea…. from a butter clam shell (Saxidomus giganteus) discovered on the ocean floor off the coast of Orcas Island, a beautiful and sculptural clam shell hand-bound book. A little taste of mama ocean that will fit comfortably in the palm of an adult sized hand.”
