A little piece of nature

            On the beach in Michigan I found a thin piece of birch wood bark and kept it to make a notebook! First I folded sheets of thick paper into pallets and sewed them into a binding.  I added pages at the front from a 1953 "How To Read Homeric Greek" book that I got from the discard book pile at Marquette's library. I dipped the edges of the pages in watercolor blue and speckled some pages.
           Also pictured is an old notebook that I covered with the same Greek book with addition pages from a German book about flowers.
           Here's the finished product.
