It's still very satisfying wrapping, placing and pasting (rubber cement) these extinct-bird cut-outs around/in the stout sewn signatures/pages of the old bandaging manuals which more than double in size/depth. The two intersectional book-fonts are similar and sympathetic. I hope to be able to find more copies of these books and continue the work: like I need another project. Uncommonly simple, elegant and direct. A silent plea but a vengeful prayer. /:b
