I love books. 

I’ve written many times about my reading passion and how I love to devour the books I read, how I crave the aura they create around me that changes my present into a magical place where I can forget everything except the present of my imagination.

I can compare this only to the state of mind I get into when I am drawing when I can’t  see or hear anything  around me, like I become deaf and blind for everything except what I create.

I love the total immersion of mind that the books give me! I can’t be without a book and whenever I finish reading something I frantically look for the next one, so I can sleep soundly that night knowing I will have something to read the next day. 

You would ask yourselves why am I talking about books in the Art & Craft section, since I already have the ” Life” section for that?

True, but this is a special occasion.

Ever since I started the book ” The Historian” by Elizabeth Kostova I felt the need of a bookmark. If you have ever seen this book, you know how huge it is.

This is what I came up with, alas I never got to use it, because I finished it when I’ve already read the book, but the book inspired it, that’s why I called the book mark ” The Historian”.
