A little sunshine would go a long way right about now.

And that temperature would slow me down as well.<br />Today I will stay inside and create:)<br />No freezing temps or snow here. Hope the sun will show today.

In the winter, we are rarely above freezing; more often, we have the temps you describe for long periods of time. One gets acclimatized. When I moved here, I thought I never would. But now, I find coastal weather, which is much milder, too warm, until my body adjusts!<br /><br />100 Peace cards!

Both on the left and on the right side of the book, the paper is correctly oriented for reading (top to bottom, right to left). You can tell by the character for person, which looks a bit like an upside-down capital letter Y. If you scan, you can see that character in several places. See, it looks like a little walking person with two legs coming down.

There is really nothing like the joy of working with paper, I think. As far as slowness, I think it is probably your way of prolonging the experience. I know that is the way I do it. Of course, I think Slow Art is the way to go...it just deepens the pleasure.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Suki, for your kind words and your support over the last few months. Your wise words kept popping into my mind each time a challenge was before me. You are a true friend.

I cannot imagine 20 below! Can one breathe outside in weather like that? Won't you just freeze to death? I hope not. Will your car start? I know we walked once in MN when it was something below zero but not that much...and I was FREEZING!!!! Cursing my husband for taking me on that walk. Cursing myself for agreeing to go.<br />I'd stay in.<br /><br />Okay, now to the projects!!!!<br />The papers are indeed beautiful. I admire your tenacity for pushing through and binding a book not to mention cutting out one hundred peace cards. Will they hang like a prayer flag? Can't wait to see them all done. Have fun in the meantime...and do stay warm.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-82131154520614256762011-01-24T12:19:56.253-05:002011-01-24T12:19:56.253-05:00We are always so hard on ourselves, I think the bo...We are always so hard on ourselves, I think the book is lovely and I know the Peace cards will be too.
