The Pictoral Consequence by Caio Fernandes


A few days ago my copy of Caio's new book arrived.  I love it.  The printing is high quality,  I can still smell the ink it is that fresh off the press.  It arrived quickly and is beautifully bound.  And the art inside?  That speaks for itself.  Caio Fernandes is a wonderful  and talented artist that needs no introductions here, most of you know him already and are familiar with Mein Welt.

Today, I received two paintings from Caio.  One for me, and one for the person that  I will be gifting this book to.  I had no idea that I would receive such generous gifts from dear Caio.  I knew he was going to send a dedication to insert inside the book, but not paintings fit to frame and take pride of place on the wall.  You have made me very happy Caio, I feel blessed.  Thank you!

Click on either of the pictures to visit the Blurb shop and preview Caio's book.  To see it is to want a copy.  Irresistable.

Now for a little of what I have been up to today.  Below is a nuno felted scarf inspired by the warm glow of the sun and its heartening rays.  Right now, that is something I can only see in my memories of bygone summers.  we have had hail today...

I will be listing this scarf in my new shop as soon as I get enough good natural light to take some pictures.

The scarf looks wonderful, it makes me longing for long warm summer evenings. Thank you for let me dream about that, 'cause it's rather cold here now.

Hi Jasmine,
I just had a look on your blog. You made a lot of wonderful things. Especially your felt-works I admire. The scarf with the dots is very pretty too.

Best wishes
