I am almost finished laying out the book: 143 pages. I added some extra pictures and all of the pertinent emails and chats I had in Japan. I want to check out all of the pages; add a few more pictures in some of the blank spaces; add an afterword that I will also post on the website; then print out the whole thing. Then comes the fun part: binding. I bought a small plastic bag filled with tiny fabric scraps at the flea market in Kyoto. I plan to use some of those fabrics with handmade paper I bought at Itoya in Tokyo. I’ll post pictures when I’m finished.
I’m still mulling over your name, for yes the one you have now isn’t kind.
BTW: Is this the church you were asking about?

Absolutely!
Correct me if I’m wrong. This is ONE book that you’re making for yourself, right? I think it’s a fabulous idea, of course, and I know it’ll make a beautiful book. The problem is, I WANTA SEE IT! WAHHHHH. If I get to Pittsburgh sometime in the year(s) ahead and you’re still there, we can meet for coffee or tea and you’ll share with me, right?
This is very exciting. 🙂
