hand made paper, shifu, artists' books, north country living, and some words
V-just to look is to shiver. My advice would be to stay by a wood fire. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. I was thrilled to learn about your upcoming adventure in Australia. It sounds like a fantastic trip!
ReplyDeleteoh, oh that looks too cold for comfort. beautiful - but... glad I live in the banana belt.
ReplyDeletebarry i need to bring in more wood, however it's warmer now...
ReplyDeletelota, thanks!, me, too.
jean, bananas??? well, i guess so...
bananas - well not really - just a phrase Victorians use to describe their winter in comparison to the other 99.9% of the country, those who want to brag about playing golf all year - but we do get buckets of rain and many grey days. our summers are not as hot as much of the country.
ReplyDeleteyour winter images are beautiful.. and I scrolled down and took a look at your previous posts.. saw those rock books-- wow! and the shifu process looks interesting.. happy holidays!
