"Please Leave in Church Pew" by Sharon Bowman (photo by Don Distel)
2007
Hand stitched textile book; cotton, floss embellisments
9x7x4
"Please Leave in Church Pew" was inspired by the pencil attached to the book. A friend found it in her stash and passed it on; I immediately started planning how to use it. I am alternately disheartened and amused by the hypocrisy of persons who profess their "holiness" on the one hand but are breaking the Ten Commandments right and left. That concept of "do as I say not as I do" deserves to be left behind on Sunday afternoon.
