Oh, Nancy, I'm so excited that you're coming back to the Handmade Bookclub in December! This little taste is just tantalizing. And of course I had to go look up Ruth Smith and the Japanese paper. Your art is so lovely. The way you combine papers is magical. Looking forward to December.
Thanks so much.it should be fun!
Wow Nancy, these are gorgeous!
Thanks so much, Rosann. We should have a fun time: Color, Texture, Folding, and creativity!
Any idea where to source the book you mention by Ruth Smith? I've checked amazon and ebay but no hits.....
It is not available in the US, except through contacting Ruth personally in England - she does take orders and mail them. Extremely nice lady. Her email is: eruthsmith@btinternet.com. Good luck! She has a series of four booklets and they are all wonderful.
Nancy, your Zhen Xian Bao are gorgeous. I have recently started making these and they are very Zen and addicting. My big box on the bottom is not as big as yours as I have not yet taken the time to figure out the math on making it with the higher sides. Any math you can share with me?
Lucy, if you would like to PM me on Facebook, I can tell you some measurements that work for me! Thanks for your kind words.
Hi, i just loved these! I tried to find the book by Ruth Smith, but without a title it’s proven difficult. Would you have any more info? Thank you
Ann-Ingrid, you can order a set of books from Ruth - her email is eruthsmith@btinternet.com
There are 4 books, called Folded Secrets and are only available directly from Ruth in England. a good article you might enjoy!
