Confessions of the heart28-01-2011

Confessions of the heart

I am what you can never see; I am the girl inside of me
and I'm mad at me for not letting me
be the one that I wanted to be

And I want to go jump up and down my bed
Leap, get far from this stale inaction
because sitting still is not curing the heart-ache
it's just an unnatural compromise
for always staying on the lovely side

Well, I wont choose one distinction
when my mind's filled up with them
cause one is never enough to say:
Here I am, I'm wonderful, I am
just what I was looking for in them

And I might just be the sister of the troublemaker
But that's not my name, I can't disappear
for m

Heart-to-...brain

'Don't worry', you say.
'You won't feel changes right away'
But there's a brick road on my ceiling
And my world is upside down
does that mean I might be healing?

'Don't worry', you say.
'It took me two years to get half way'
Thats when my heart starts to resist
And when my brain starts to make lists
on why this girl should not persist.

But you lift your head, and I see your eyes
And they talk about life with no more lies
And you talk of how it used to be
and I am no longer afraid to speak
about the things it did to me.

'Don't worry', you say.
'We'll be free, whole and cliche one day'
And that's

Undefined

If I'd be a gay witch girl
in your fantasy made-up mind
Would I be different among the different,
on the sidelines, undefined?

Would I stare at magical photographs
of eyes catching your paper-eyes
Lost in a shadowplay of torture
of days that have gone bye

Or would I be fighting to seize my wand
and use magic to exhibit my heart
to transform what it can almost see
into impossible works of art

That would speak to the community
of an ending of standing still
Of blending with the non-magical
of disposing of parchment and quill

...to put a spell on my computer
cause without change we can't survive
Would I b

The binding of Dogs of Warby *Marenne

On the 1st of april I read a wonderful story here on dA, named Dogs of War, written by *Muzica-chan. At that time, I'd been waiting to bind a book with more than one edition for some time. I asked her if she would mind if I bound her story. She was very enthusiastic about the idea, and so it began. We emailed a lot to sync our ideas. I did the layout, the line-art and the binding of the book. The art on the paper cover was made by *DanceOnMines. We're from America, Holland and Singapore, so this is truly a multi-continent project!

Soon, the books are going to travel a long way to Muzica's home!

I really enjoyed making these books, and working together with Muzi! I hope she loves the outcome as much as I do! I'd like to do more of these projects, so if you are an artist and want a limited edition book of your work (prose, poetry, drawings, paintings, etc!) please contact me, and we'll see if we can work something out!

- Information about custom ordering books,
- More information about me,
- A blog about all of my hand-bound books.

I was reading through the comments, and noticing it wasn't asked, I will. I'm curious, but how did you go about with the making of the book jacket? Did you make that yourself as well, or where did you order it from?

*Marenne Sep 2, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

The image on the book jacket was created by !DanceOnMines, I designed the jacket in consultation with Muzica and had it professionally printed (several pieces on one a1 sized sheet op paper, if I remember correctly) with a large format printer. Does that answer your question?

~findthehiddenmeaning Sep 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes, it does.

Thank you very much, and your work, all of you guys, looks fantastic.

*Marenne Sep 4, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the faves! So happy you like my work!

~findthehiddenmeaning Sep 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I very much do. If I were to be even half as good as you, I would be a very happy person. Haha. Hopefully somewhere down the line.

*Marenne Sep 6, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

What are your specialties?

~findthehiddenmeaning Sep 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Simple things as of now. I use coptic stitching for my sketchbooks because I like the way it lays. Though, I'm thinking that once I fill up this one, I'll rebind it some other way for durability so as to be able to look at it always. Not sure how. I've been using french link and japanese stab bindings for the one's I make for my friends. I really want to learn more varied things though.

*Marenne Sep 24, 2012 Professional Artisan Crafter

You can look around the internet for tutorials. Also on youtube. There are some really good ones. There are also very good books for learning different bindings. It's really fun!

If you have any questions you can always ask me!

Do you mind if I ask how many pages you used in each signature?

*Marenne Nov 24, 2011 Professional Artisan Crafter

Thank you!
If I remember correctly... 4 of 7 folded pages and 1 of 6 folded pages.
