Harbinger of Songs, Cyanotype Journal
One-of-a-kind full cloth binding covered with linen with a cyanotype print depicting a wintery scene of trees.
Scribed and hidden upon the spine before it was covered up are the following words by John O’Donohue:
“May I always find the courage to follow my path and hear the call of my gifts.”
I love adding hidden words to the inner book spine. I like to believe it gives a certain energy to the journals that leave the Lotus Blu Bindery in hopes that they will set the tone for whatever they are to be filled with.
My hope for this journal is that it will be a harbinger of colour in the life of its beholder.
