Love Songs

Love Somgs

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know about this month’s book of the month from Mystical Places Press: Love Songs.

The one- of-a- kind illustrations are hand painted by an Indian artist on the skeleton

of Peepul leaves, the tree of enlightenment.

This book contains 4 love poems by Sarojini Naidu (1879 – 1949), the great Indo-Anglian poet, scholar, freedom fighter, feminist, political activist, orator and administrator was the first woman president of the Indian National Congress,

and first Indian state governor.

Sarojini Chattopadhyay or Sarojini Naidu, as the world knows her, was born on February 13, 1879 in a Hindu Bengali Brahmin family.

She had a prominent romantic trait in her blood: “My ancestors for thousands of years have been lovers of the forest and the mountain caves, great dreamers, great scholars, great ascetics…” All these qualities manifest themselves in her romantic lyrics – a world of fantasy and allegoric idealism.

Each poem is printed on parchment paper that overlays the artwork.

Each page contain the original art mounted on

the stiff page with a frame to help protect the leaf.

Book size is 8″ x 7″. Unique. Comes with clamshell case, $495.

Christmas in the Summer!

look up number

And sending holiday greetings through the mail is not yet quite passé, although that may go the way of digital greetings soon.

Over the years the United State Postal Service has produced many different stamps for the holiday mail ranging from humorous, fun, cute, mother and child scenes, and reproductions of major works of art.

The flag book, invented by Hedi Kyle, is a fun way to display little works of art so it was natural for me to combine the 2, stamps and flag structure, and thus was born my latest artist book, Christmas Greetings.

What was amazing to me was the discovery of fabric that had Christmas stamps as it’s pattern. What were the chances

? Online of course.

Book Size is 2.75″ x 7.75″, comes with matching clam-shell fabric covered case.

Edition of 9, Book with matching case is $195.
