a child's garden of verses

この本は１９６９年に出版された『a child's garden of verses』という古い絵本です。友人が古本屋さんで見つけて娘にくれたのですが、Virginia Tiffanyという人によって刺された刺繍のなんとも可愛く素敵な絵本です。

This is an old picture book  which title is 'a child's garden of verses' published in 1969. One of our friend found this book and gave it to my daughter. Every page is filled with beautiful hand stitched embroidery and collage by Virginia Tiffany.

ページをめくる度に楽しい絵とお話。

As you turn the page, you will see the delightful pictures and stories.

きれいに収めようとせず、大胆な刺繍とコラージュがいいなぁって見とれます。

I like her free hand stitch and collage.

それからこの切り貼りの詩の部分、微妙に右下がりなのがいいですね。

And the level of the poet part. It is sliding down to the right little bit. These little things are my favorite.

まだ私が生まれる前に作られた絵本です。。。

This book is made before I was born...

作り手の気持ちがその一針一針を通して伝わってくる暖かい絵本だと思います。

This is a warm-hearted book which I can tell her cares and love thorough the every single stitch.
