MY HANDMADE BOOKS:
The cups are just wonderful.
Thanks for the comment. I had such fun doing this book. it began when I went to Disneyland and went round and round in the ‘cups’, all manner of things sprang from that experience…have loved all types of cups ever since.
They are all so lovely! I love handmade books. Wish I could make one as well.
Thanks for your comment WendyB. I have just gone into my blog after two months overseas. I am sure you can make your own handmade book. I think a handmade book about your Mother would be lovely. Maybe you have some small things of hers that would make a lovely collage along with some of her favourite saying etc. You can either gather your own papers and bind them together in a way that relates to your Mom or just simply tie them with a ribbon of our Mom’s colour. Just a thought. I did love the story of your Mom and the journey. Whilst it is sad, it is such a rich human story.
I am so happy to find your blog…thanks for visiting me and leaving bread crumbs. I, too, love hand made books, mandalas, collages, nature prints, etc. I am looking forward to exploring your blog more. Hugs, pat
As I said before, handmadebooks are very new subject for me. How exciting and enjoyable…And also should be great fun. I loved your all works dear Rose, you brought me a new creative world to my humble life. I can see how you put your beautiful heart on these lovely papers… Fascinated me. Thank you, how I love to be in here, in your creative world. Blessing and Happiness, with my love, nia
