These books were one of the first structures I learned. Very cool. They are books and they double as ornaments, etc. I am brainstorming how to use them in my sister's pending wedding- maybe one on each table for people to leave comments? Tie them all together to the guest book? Could be interesting. I played with sizes, colors and format- small ones are cute. Then I thought maybe photos would work well so I took some of the murals in downtown Asheville- cropped to right size in InDesign, printed out on my printer and cut to size. Lots of work for it though. Might work better as a personal present or something.
This site is mostly for myself. I tend to keep better records with photos and I want to remember all the books I have made. Plus, online info is easily retrievable.
But, please, peruse my new hobby. Let me know if you want a book. I am still learning but I can practice on you!
I am Crystal, a name which often implies clarity, transparency, and light. Based in Ancient Greek, my name comes from a term, krustallos, which means congealed through freezing. Interestingly, crystals are formed through a process of crystallization, where liquids become ice; this requires a good amount of freezing. However, I am not as simple as that. My world is no where near transparent or clear. It is hazy, dark, cold, hard, and yes, incredibly blurry.
