This journal, collaged with beautiful bits of handmade paper from India, is part of my recent exploration into coptic bookbinding.
Made with simple materials: paper, glue, thread, and wonder, this multi-signature book feels like a cheerful place for bright ideas to land.
Can you spot the matching purple and pink corner bookmark peeking out at the upper right corner?
Oh... where do I even begin?
This excerpt from “Soul Friends” by Stephen Cope says it better than I ever could. Please excuse me, I’m going back to practicing.
There is no greater misfortune than feeling
“I have an enemy”
For when “I” and “enemy” exist together
there is no room left for my treasure
Thus, when two opponents meet
The one without an enemy will surely triumph
- Lao-Tzu
