Love Life by Fiona Cribben
Thank you so much for your interest in this book. Having sold out of the first print run within weeks of launching, we are delighted to share that a second limited edition of the book is now in production.
The second edition has a sage green cover. It looks different to the first edition as Fiona made no two of her bespoke designs the same! But within the pages the content will remain the same. It will be available for collection/delivery in February. Updates will be made on her Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fionacribben/

The late artist and designer Fiona Cribben is remembered through her most personal work.
Fiona Cribben was an Irish artist, designer and mother living with metastatic breast cancer for almost 10 years. During this time she created art, for the living and for the dead.
Having worked as a fashion and textile designer, Fiona created bespoke jewellery, costumes for music videos and film but from 2016, after she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, her focus turned to the art of surviving life. She made Lifewreaths, healing mandalas, to help her and others celebrate life.
Since her death in November 2019, this book has been created with the intention of sharing a collection of Fiona’s creative journalling, her artwork, her poetry and her positive outlook on life, in spite of her cancer diagnosis. It documents the final years of her life in her own words with the hope of inspiring the reader to cherish their own life and “savour every little morsel”.
Love Life is a soft case bound book with linen cover and hot foil detailing. Printed endpapers, with stitched binding and five satin ribbons throughout indicating each chapter of the book. Over 360 interior pages with coloured edge painting on soft white uncoated paper stock, reflective of the tactile nature of the imagery used throughout.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will go to LauraLynn Children’s Hospice and ARC Cancer Support.
The second print run books will be shipped mid-February.
