If you do end up making these as blank books I'm pretty sure you'd sell out of them as soon as you list them.

TimBakerFX In reply to AzaleaJones [2012-10-12 17:02:52 +0000 UTC]

You think so? perhaps, If I could get them organized so it didn't take so long to make them. They're kind of labor intense And thank you for the kind words

One of my favourite shops in my city is a fancy papery downtown. They have their walls lined with beautiful papers and journals of all sizes and types. Sometimes I go in just to see if they have anything new that I'll want to save up for. But, this piece of work blows them out of the water.

Ancients guarding the new...
I cannot think of a story for this book
perhaps tales of Oceanic Gods, or
a Pisceans watery, poetic words...

aquafyrefly In reply to TimBakerFX [2012-03-21 14:23:40 +0000 UTC]

Far to imaginative for phone numbers,
history of the sea, tales of the oceans origin?
perhaps?
I could go on and on
cheers!

Wow! It looks like the Extinct Species Necronomicon or something lol. Don't recite any words out of it or ZOMBITE DINOSAURS WILL RULE THE EARTH!!!

That would be so terrifying.

But on a totally serious note... I am astounded. +fav.

I was going to ask the same question. Secret and old knowledge sounds good. I'll take that option.
It looks great!
