It turns out that the hobby that touches more interests than any other of my interests is also the least expensive to get into. I'm learning bookbinding.
When my skills reach a level where I'm confident enough to do it, I'll use some of the profits from the book to make some limited editions. They will be hand stitched, leather-bound with hand marbled bookcloth endsheets and hand gilded leather, illuminated and printed on the finest parchments. Even if they don't sell, it would be fun to do just one for myself. :-)
This writing thing is fun. I've already started another story in an entirely different universe - ours. It's about an old woman's relationship with the colour red. Red, as in wagon; red, as in first lipstick; red, as in roses; red, as in blood; red as in courage; red, as in honour; red, as in. . . You get the idea. No points for guessing what the title is. ;-) |
