I've been perfecting my skill at book binding recently. A task regretfully overlooked. It's such a beautiful art and it's vital to the compiling of information and storage of knowledge. Everywhere I look I'm seeing hand bound books from stores, antique shops, and friends/families homes. Once something has entered the consciousness it appears to you everywhere.
So in my attempt to save money and recycle books I'm finding second hand books with nice covers to use in my own bindings. Recently I found an old French language reference book, much like a reference book you might use in class (if you were taking french), but on the inside cover I found this beautiful logo with the motto, "Je sème à tout vent," which means "I sow to all winds." I'd like to think that I'm doing that in my own life, passing on knowledge or my love to all people and all directions.
