Gourd Book with Asemic Writings

The first book that caught my eye was a well crafted design by Donna Maria de Creeft. It is made up out of different types of media. One including a plant called gourd and also of asemic writings. In Asemic writings there aren't any words they're more like symbols that are used to grab the reader and let them interpret the work. Round thin papers were cut to look like disc in order to fit and threaded though them in order to fit into the gourd. While the writing for this book was done in a calligraphy style using india ink. And touches of water color were used on the pages to help decorate. You can close this book and no one could ever know what it is. Although it makes a good decorative piece I like the book because your recycling something and because you're using a different way to show people a style of writing that if it was in a standard book they might not thought of opening it up and reading.
