Lunar Eclipse

Unfortunately I didn't have my tripod set up.  The shot isn't great, but it didn't capture the color of the moon.

A Chrissie pressie for Lea. She loves turquoise and purple.  The headband is orange & white silk thread.

Blossoms By The Wayside

My current book restoration project

Cover removed from text block

















Cover with end pages still attached














The spine below is in terrible condition, but the cover I will keep to be part of the restored book.




















I carefully split the board in an effort to save the original end pages.  I am glad to say to say that I was successful.

Separating the front and back covers from the spine, I began to remove the excess book board.

I don't know what I would do without bookbinding to distract & take me away from monitors and keyboards.  The tactile aspect of constructing a book is incredibly therapeutic.  

My latest commission is posted below:

Moss & Picasso

Matt & I enjoyed a morning at the DeYoung attending the Picasso Exhibit.  We then strode across the park past the fountain to the Academy of Science to have lunch at the Moss Room.

Portrero

In Potrero Hills today with Bhautik and Briony.  We met for brunch at Chez Manan and finished out with a Mocha down the street at Farley's. The sun was shining and the skies were blue, something we really haven't seen all week in Sausalito.
