This was SO interesting! I've always been fascinated by fore-edge painting (though I didn't know it was called that), and these were excellent examples.
But the best part was the master class video. That was great.
Thanks, Tabatha, for such an marvelous post. :-)
Fascinating Tabatha, the video was wonderful, I love old books, thanks!
Oh, my.... - of course, right up my altered-book-loving alley! Beautiful, Tabatha - thank you!
Good! Tabata. A masterclass utorial on how its done. HealthTip4u
