Artist and art critic Svetlana Prudovskaya not only introduces the reader to the history of the book, but also shares a recipe for making paper at home. An amazingly creative process, it turns out.
Not only to explore the history of books from Sumerian cuneiform tablets and Egyptian papyri, but also to literally touch this history with your own hands, the artist and art critic Svetlana Prudovskaya offers. Great ideas for home crafts: make your own clay tablet, papyrus scroll, birch bark letter or stick book (it turns out that there were such — in ancient China!). But, perhaps, the main exclusive of the book is a detailed guide to creating paper at home. This process, it turns out, is so creative and beautiful that it’s hard not to be tempted. For decoration, you can add flowers, petals and leaves of plants, spices, green tea to homemade paper … And then make postcards to remember the holidays and warm lands where we collected those same flowers and leaves, or sew your own book.
