I d...I know nothing of bookbinding and creation ... I do know that when I contemplate these images of your book, I feel like I'm looking waaay back in time to eras when books were considered sacred objects and the "container" itself was seen to be as holy and meaningful as whatever was scribed within ... symbolic of wisdom, artistic mastery, a beautiful form to contain more beauty within.<br /><br />Karin, your creations really blow me away. My own gift is with words ... I have to admit total klutzhood where crafting an object into art is concerned ;-)<br /><br />You are a superbly graced artist, my friend ...<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />P.S. Word ver. = "elose" --> one letter away from "Eloise", my favourite imp from childhood!

But there were gray areas so without an instructor and it being my first- my book doesn't close up nicely. it's very crude. Yours is so beautiful and the way I wanted mine to look.

Being that I'm unilingual I'm very impressed. I haven't even gotten to the youtube point yet - still in the editing stages on my computer - that's where the hold up is. I can't get the video from my camera into the computer because my computer is too stuffed! But I'll get there, and then you'll find it on my blog, too! this mandala journal will be entertaining us for a while - it's all blank but for the first pages!! Thank you for all your appreciation - and for describing your amazing sounding home!! What an historic treasure that is! <br /><br />thanks Svasti, I'm grinning with the compliments - but I'll try not to let it go to my head!! xoxKarin Bartimolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490920503677450338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226993038032504896.post-13370707818311046522010-03-10T23:14:02.858-05:002010-03-10T23:14:02.858-05:00More beautiful work from one of my favourite artis...More beautiful work from one of my favourite artists in the blogosphere!
