This...Thank youforyour beautiful comment Jennifer. This last six weeks have been really raw emotionally and a little like Fiona, I seem to have been tracking through treacle. I haven't ever made a book so imbued with emotion and meaning as this one but now that I have completed it, I am really pleased with it. Our two books meet this week and then we will both be able to blog on the completed works. I have enjoyed irking with new materials too and have certainly learnt much along the way to sharewithothersworkingwith aluminum and mica.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-19219486517089133742012-07-21T20:58:45.926+10:002012-07-21T20:58:45.926+10:00A deeply moving book.

I so want to see this one in person, to hold it and feel the various textures, feel the weight of it my hand, to listen to the whispers of the memories that you've instilled in it. What a lovely, wonderfully artistic piece this is.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927317459104273331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-71624706461168781122012-07-18T20:38:47.418+10:002012-07-18T20:38:47.418+10:00Hello Fiona.

It has been a much tougher exercise this time around - both having our struggles with decision making. I just had to make mine and move forward.... Haven't finished as I had hoped but should do so tomorrow.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-57846921753769627782012-07-18T20:34:02.641+10:002012-07-18T20:34:02.641+10:00Thank you for coming by my blog Jann - and for you...Thank you for coming by my blog Jann - and for your lovely comment.

It is hard to bring emotion to a work and not be overbearing with it. To know when to leave it be and know you have said enough. Glad you are enjoying my tumblr too. I love the da Vinci quote .... So often the marks we find in simple natural forms are our point of inspiration.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-42231755533426888442012-07-16T20:14:42.889+10:002012-07-16T20:14:42.889+10:00Oh my, this is coming along beautifully Susan - an...Oh my, this is coming along beautifully Susan - and lots of lovely links and connections appearing...almost there.

Thinking dry point and inking will work well too.
