Description Here is a little ornament book I made today!

It has a dragonfly theme...the ribbon is silk and the pages are folded special, so that when you open it, the paper size is actually four times larger than the book...

I used a Christmas tree ornament hook for the ...er..well, hook part

LOL...well...Hmmm...I can't find the book I got the pattern from If you want, I can send you one in exchange for a piece of your original art...I'm sending a book to ~meldir in Germany...

Do you have a PO Box?

I dun have a PO Box, but I have a street address. Since I do everything digitally, would you take a print? If not I understand, but I'd be willing to get a nice print made of any of my pieces for you.

I know...a print and a signed sketch for a book and a signed sketch? not an hour-long sketch or a stick figure with scribbles..but a happy medium (we bargain like this all the time at Nness ) my email is unilightus at yahoo dot com...

WoolSocks In reply to meldir [2004-06-30 20:19:11 +0000 UTC]

LOL..I'd would certainly send one to you..but I think it's around $15 US dollars just to buy an international money order...EEps! I can't imagine what an international money order would cost for you in Germany... >.< But if you wanted to send me something cool and artsy/handmade from Germany, I'd send you an ornament book (like a trade.. that's what I do at Nness..I just got some cool stuff from a girl in Lebanon the other day!)
