• A Meditation. A folded booklet. Three pages are cut out in the form of the letters ‘Yud Yud’. On the remaining pages - a printed passage from the Song of Songs (English). Signed and numbered by Avadenka : 69/90.
• Understanding, 1987-1988. A folded Pop-Up Booklet. The pieces that are cut protrude and form letters that together make up the word "Bina" (intelligence).

• Compassion, 1996. A booklet dealing with the various meanings of the word "Rehamim" (Compassion/mercy) in Hebrew and in English. The last pages are sewn together, creating a three-dimensional effect: when the booklet is open it presents the elements that comprise the word Rehamim - Rehem (womb), Ma’im (water) and Yam (sea). Signed by Avadenka and numbered 36/50. Enclosed is a publicity flyer that marks the publication of the booklet.
