i really enjoyed
the northeast harbor library
i spent all day saturday there.
the maine room had this treasure
hidden in the stacks
with beautifully letterpress
printed words
and even more beautiful garden prints
and this small one
this!
and this--
and more.
and i got to page through this book!
so amazing
a cross, in a way
between two other book artists that i stand in awe of:
timothy ely
and
william blake
my eyes would go fuzzy
and then i'd go back to the book
and this reminds me of rima staines.
who was trained
as a book artist.
and maybe a botanical artist or two.
here are a few of his words
and a few more
maybe carol barton.
~~~
and these last two
which so amaze me.
~~~
i'm home again, with more pictures
for another day.
i promise.
