TRAVEL AND MORE

Image
It is at that point, when we sit down in our seat, that our journey begins and we have time to reflect on whatever is foremost in our minds.  My thoughts go to new creations and it turns out they were both about travel.   TRAIN OF THOUGHTS  This artist book was inspired by a number of e-mails I received.  The e-mails came to me in spurts as the sender worked through her thoughts.  Thus the Train of Thoughts book was conceived.  I used the thoughts of 16th century philosopher, Michel de Montaigne, which are still relevant in today's world.  I marbled some paper with a new combination of earthy colours and used them for the cover of the book.  The engine is the front page of the book and I used some of the marbled paper in the cow catcher.  The Train of Thoughts pulling out of the station. There are four cars in the train and a quote in each car.  The book measures 5 7/8 x 7 1/4 x 1/2 inches/15 x 18.4 x 1.5 cm when closed and 5 7/8 x 70/15 x
