| This is the book I bound for my boyfriend this year. I also did the calligraphy. Click on any image to see a detailed photo. |

The cover is bound in red tissue paper and stamped with a gold-embossed heart from Rubber Stampede. The tassel and binding are made from DMC embroidery floss. The calligraphy is done on a speckled ivory cardstock which was then layered onto the navy pages. |

|
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With sweet emotion; |
 |
|
|
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle~
Why not I with thine? |
 |
|
 |
Let the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another,
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it distained its brother. |
 |
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea~
What are all the kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me? |
