  3. PPS. apparently it takes about 6hrs for the audio clip to fully load, so you'll only hear part of it for now. Which is a pity, as it's really quite appropriate for the subject.

  9. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. Without it, it would be hard to appreciate the complexity of the construction. It is wonderful to follow these books as they travel from artist to artist. Thank you!

  10. Hello lovely, lovely girlas!! Well I'm happy because it seems I've invented a new word! Lol. Thankyou for your incredible comments! Kim, Ill send Lisa's book to you this week.

    Which remindds me, Lisa S, I received your book from Kim last week - it is fantastic but I can't work in it unless I break the spine, as the book actually won't fold out properly because of its new thickness. Can you let me know if it's alright to do this? I have done it one hundreds of books over teh years as it is sometimes the only way to fix books at my library. So, what I'm saying is, your book will be in good hands. I have BIG plans for my pages you see...and I want to get started! Lol!
