Week 8, Book #8: Blue

i am late late late getting this post up and out this week, so this will be quick. i actually created the following book around the same time the snow book was born. it was inspired by granddaughter, Lotus, who brought some magnetic sand over for us to play with. i fell in love with that stuff, and of course i thought about how to use it to make a book. 

it brings to mind those amazing sand mandala's i have witnessed Buddhist monks create and dismantle. what an awesome meditation that is. working with sand is a serious meditation in itself. here's my little 3-page sand book, reading right to left, to show for it.
