See, what did I tell you guys?!

If I had been alone on this project, I think I really would have started to lose it a little and begun imagining things.

Yes I am finally and officially on the blog!

Supposing I may have been Wendy's phantom partner at the museum? I have now proved her to be an honest woman.

The project feels as though it is going by very quickly. Wendy and I began to re-roll some of the Chinese rubbings on Monday, which proved to be quite a challenge. The largest piece, which was about 30 feet in length seems to be the most difficult to rehouse. We hope to find it a happy resting place (wish us luck and patience!)

Ya, Da, Da, Da, Da, Hey!

The Big One

30 feet of very thin paper.

We took a break from the re-rolling of the rubbings while the tubes are being cut to the appropriate sizes and delved into these boxes:

We found some goodies.

Custom Clam Shell

I had to leave today before I finishing this clam shell box for a very fragile Chinese scroll. I have a good feeling I'll be pleased with the results.

Thai Manuscripts with Paintings

The reason I took this photograph may not be the first thing you notice about the image. Check out the little penciled bird walking down the border of the painting.
