Road Trip II

I can't remember how I first came across all the mountains, it was a link from another blog, and since then I have regularly dropped by to see the lovely images that Amy collects.  From here you can see some beautiful finds, including these books from whale heart 






and the Dictionary Book by Sam Winston

                                                     


 'Like people, the alphabetically constrained words yearn to release their individual potential. They want to escape the dictionary’s regimentation and come together to tell a story. But when the words break free, so do their letters. They scatter and tumble across the page, reflecting meaning through visual representation. For a time it’s wild and exciting but when things look to be getting out of hand the Alphabet arrives to remind everyone of their responsibilities. Order returns… but the world and it’s words will never be quite the same again.'


                                               

Dictionary story book is available to buy here

From here, I was inspired to look up some handmade books on etsy and found these lovely bright bingo books from somavenus
