“Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells…and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower…both strange and familiar.”
— Cornelia Funke, Inkspell (via observando)

Handstitched Clamshell Book Sculptures by Odelae (Erica Ekrem)
“An ode to the Salish Sea…. from a butter clam shell (Saxidomus giganteus) discovered on the ocean floor off the coast of Orcas Island, a beautiful and sculptural clam shell hand-bound book. A little taste of mama ocean that will fit comfortably in the palm of an adult sized hand.”

“The timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness, and knows… that that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.” -Kahlil Gibran

In the Atacama Desert in Chile, there's 3,000-year-old, densely packed shrub called llareta. It looks like moss covering rocks, but it's actually a cluster of branches and leaves that is so hard you can stand on it.
