I plunged into starting my medieval-inspired Book of Hours. I made a Coptic bound book, bought some pens & colored pencils, and got to work. I haven't done very much, and progress will be slow, I want to add to it when I feel to, and not force anything. But I'm excited by what I've done so far:
|
The cover of my book. I wanted a plain, dark cover. |
|
The inside cover of my book, using Italian paper. Coptic Christianity is an ancient branch of Christianity that began in Egypt, and this form of binding comes from them. |
|
The first page of my book. |
|
The second page of my book. |
Like I said, I haven't done much yet, but I look forward to adding to this project over the next several weeks, months and years.
I love your work; I love the spirit of your work. Wish I could do
