October is usually my favorite month of the year! It's now fall- the weather is gradually getting cooler, the air begins to smell different (maybe from ripening harvest fruits and veggies, but it's likely the dying, molding leaves, although inspite of that, it smells refreshing!) I love Halloween, so rich with imagery and smells and tastes! I fill up with joy from seeing or making costumes, and ghoulish, spooky, frightful, cute or tacky creatures or decorations. And not to mention, October is my birthday month!
I've been keeping busy! Here are a few pics of my ongoing class assignment making a carousel book (also known as a star book). My book is a very loose fantastical narrative involving 2 nutcrackers from my childhood- the red one was mine and the blue one was my twin's. The blue one is only the star of the book because I thought it was more interesting to play with, with its little drum. I'll have more pictures later, including some from my finished concertina book.
