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.

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.
