I want to jot down what's in my mind for the next creation.
The art journal with pages of botanical prints and printed leather cover as well embellished with dainty finds is a keepsake.
Journal cover with printed flowers picked on bike ride, twigs from hiking, sea shell and stone from beach walk. Before opening it I want to say a big thanks to my mentor master Irit Dulman who inspires my botanical printing world. The first year I stepped into her promising land I was so delighted to see the wild yellow flowers all over the country Israel. I almost felt in love of the pretty prints with such flowers. Two years ago Irit gave me the seeds for planting. It grown so well and I used some for the printing. Flowers gone and I didn't grow in seed bed this year but to my surprise the seeds from last blooming became thriving and blooming again in my rural studio field. Can't resist to do some more yellow prints with the flowers.
Just picked a few home after biking.......
Made stack of paper prints with sorts of leaves then boiled for an hour.
Yellow flowers are the outstanding prints among other leaves.
With Mogi's paw stamp my prints approved.
Is it nice to make the all-purpose card?
This brat says hi to you.
Bind with other papers to make an art journal with eco printed leather cover is another good idea.
By the sea to read my story of creation while listening to the wave.
Jot down ideas of inspiration after a day or write my diary.
Holding a physical art book is contented that memories are not easily wash away. Bond in the art book and enclosed with leather cover, knotted with a broken procelain scrap.
Making art journal is part of my journey of eco printing.

記憶....從製作小本子開始.....
把弄花葉烙印在紙張上、皮革上
繫以小貝榖、石子、羽毛、樹枝、破瓷
小黃花尤是所思所念
那年以色列之旅
從此愛上了野生小黃菊
啟蒙大師贈予花籽洒在田野
每年春日盛放
That year walked the dog Anna with host Betty, such a leisure walk in the suburb of Israel.
This is how I made the little journal.
Delightful. And as you say, always good to get the pawprint of approval!
