One of them days

Tuesday, One of them days that you seem to get absolutely not a thing done .... or I should say done right!
Have to re do just about all the binding stitches I put in, needle twisting and turning....thought I would embroider on the machine .....Nooooooo....Just one of them days. lol
Sure hope your day went better than the start of this week...did I mention that Monday was like this also?
Well, it was! lol
Think its time for a double espresso, and call it a day.
So, just a little note to say hello and wishing your day much better than mine ...lol
AS always

Every Once in a while ...

Every once in a while I have someone write to me, that they have lost my picturetrail
information or they have seen an item on esty.com. But, cannot for the life of them
connect.
This is an update of information of how to reach for the stars.

Like my cat! Only difference from this cat and Hamlet (my cat) is that Hamlet's mouth is always open and he is always tripping me...

Still working on the book binders commission, also yesterday I took a walk down memory land, a gal from Berlin, Germany who I meet almost 20 years ago, her hubby had been in the Army with my hubby and we meet each morning to swim, She traveled to Hawaii and a year later I was in Hawaii, we spoke of long ago people who made an impression on us.

Bad Luck followed her to the beautiful islands, her hubby decided to check out of a a long time marriage, she returned to Arizona, her last move before they parted, Luck has stayed with me, after Hawaii my hubby retired in Arizona, to continue his work with the government. I went back in time and realized that there were so many people that you wonder about, so I reached out to Hawaii and one of my favorite people, leaving messages to find and see what has happened in there life.

Funny, how at the end of the times, you remember vividly the

times of long ago and far away.

Well, I digress, enough, back to the studio and like the cat above Hamlet is vocal regarding his dinner.

12 Octavo Signature ...

Is it an Opera? A Bird? A Poem? No!! its a journal!

12 Octavo Signature's...stunners Clay Fronts....Paper fronts...
papers of Mulberry, Threads from

Ireland waxed and ready to go..
Herringbone Stitches ,open spines ....and on and on it goes.This is a front from Clay and stones....Neat?

12 Octavo ..hum sounds like a musical production. Not so ... for the last week I have fallen into a hole just like Alice and the White Rabbit. What You say? I started out several months ago on a commission of embroidered journals that lead me into research in to a time of long ago and knights in armor. I have since that time gone deeper into the research of book binding....Today I happened upon a book offered for the mere amount of $200.00! Well, after I picked myself off the floor..I decided that this was the book for me...
...it took me much deeper than any book so far, French Herringbone, Long stitches....leather, paper, skins from trees...rabbits, all living creatures, goats...lizards and to a web site of designer skins and leathers. Copper and gold infused in the pelts.! Well, my mind has just taken flight! I am on the paper trail, special threads, pasts, on and on...But, there are some really amazing book makers out their..My hats off to the artisans of this craft. This beauty is the real deal of 12 and ferns!


Learning hand embroidery all over again....only with a ton of papers and thread that tear the pages. If, your not careful!
I have been on U-Tube for 2 days now....40 videos of bookbinding...and some really cute videos
Looking at all the glorious journals that arties make! Can I do this? We will see.

I have learned so much that my brain hurts. I dream at night and fill pages on pages in my dream journal. I keep a small journal under my bed just for moments that you wake up and have a picture in your head of what your next project will be...Only with this project, I am on over drive!
I just wish bookbinding and journal making had captured me earlier in my life, These old hands are having the pain of a life time.
But, I am on a mission ....a mission of the Knights of the Round Table...to find and make that perfect journal..One that you keep for yourself!
Can it be done ? You ask? I am going to try.
I have forsaken my designs in search for designs that can grace the fronts and backs of journals on leathers, suede's, lizards back .... well, I can only hope my door bank account hold out!
I thought I had finally finished with major hobbies....not so ... hopefully I can just make that one journal that is refillable and be done...lol
Anyway, I am full of dreams and just wishing I had a new set of hands.
As always,
Silvery Moonbeams to Watch over you.
