the fish who gave the bird a wing

I came across this print the other day.

And it reminded me of a book we have, somewhere on a shelf, somewhere in a room in this, my family home.

My sister wrote it when she was about six---a present for me, her newborn sister---about a little fish and a little bird who swap fins and wings and live the life of the other.

Even back then, my sister was talented. And I am oh-so-very glad that the memory of this illustrated book is back.

What a lovely print this is---and the many more that Etsy artist, Geninne does. Visit her shop here.

I like this 3-dimensional paper art.

With thinking about the future, I sometimes try and visualise the house I am one day going to buy. (Or rent.) I like to think it will have walls covered in things like this.

Especially that cameo one.

I am slowly trying to work on greater things to substantiate this blog.

In the meantime, I like looking at things like this.

Art, for me, is made up of books.
