Description: A blog about printmaking and artists books
We will make a heart shape book in this workshop, filled with paper, cut to shape. There is a lot of cutting of the paper to shape, but as with all binding, satisfying to make.
The book will be sewn, lined and finished in red of course. The hard part will be deciding if you will keep it for yourself or give it away!
In this season of chocolates and red hearts, I wondered how and when did the heart become associated with romance in Western culture? The early Egyptians believed the heart was the seat of the soul, the Greeks, the seat of both reason and emotion.
