Blog Post for Evie Satijadi & Toni Antonius. Indonesia. The World is a Town

[cheryl penn]

Mail Art Received Last Week of January 2011.

How fantastic to place a codex sticker for The World is a Town project on Indonesia. And it came in my favorite format - a boekie.  A small book made of beautiful paper - do you know that one of the tests of good paper is the sound it makes? This paper has a wonderful timbre. 

Within the stamped paper folds are tiny pieces of embossed paper.Gnarled roots and cherry blossoms.

There is a world caught up in here too. Another world.

Evie and Toni - thank you for your wonderful contribution :-)

Most of you will be aware of Evie's Journey to the East blog site - but here it is again for an instant link:

Really nice, so simple and pure, the colors and textures are matching like a dream.

They have not only made pulp papers...but the pressed image of the tree and blossoms is amazing. 'Can only image the "feel" of this art! My one regret in having a small studio apartment is that there is no room for making pulp papers. But I shall refer to these images often come summer...perhaps under the olive tree, paper-making would be a possibility! Thank you for this beautiful blog, Cheryl!
