It arrived in a colorful hand made envelope, fun Japanese images
and beautiful postage stamps, as always!
It is a mere 8 x 9 cm (3 x 3.5 inches), but is overflows with "folded" poetry!
Titled: "The Woof of Sie"
and Marie cleverly folds text to create wonderful and fascinating poetry.
Her hand writting repeats and emphasizes the beauty of the words:
From the adventures of "Peter", how very special!
Just a tiny boekie...made from folding and gluing a page of an old MAP!
Barely reading the town names of "Kadjalla" and "Kande", goole maps
tells me it is of Togo, near Ghana on the West African coast.
What a treasure! Thank you dearly, Marie! xxx
Comment
Mmm, might try the careful knife technique...
it is a vintage map for sure, will be very careful!
(Marie knows ...she can read our sweet comments :-)
Very meditative readings...
and special 'cause son's name is Peter!
I couldn't tear open the pages to see the entire map...
the paper is so thin, it would rip to shreds me fear.
Yes, Peter! Isn't that perfect?
I used a knife to pry it open, no damage done, Marie will never know...
I tore mine open, cos the map was too enticing! Very meditative reading, aren't they?
Nice Lil Bag stamp too!
So beautiful! A teaser for heart and brain...makes me dizzy!
