^^I changed one line in the Orphic Hymn to Gaia. Instead of "all-destroying force" in line 2, I wrote "all-creating force."

Wow, your book is super gorgeous! I love the detail and effort you put into it. I love books that are works of art themselves!

May I ask what kind of pen you used for the writing and drawing?

I've used several pens so far, the green is a simple felt tip from Michael's; the black is the same; the brown is half the same and half Windsor &Newton well ink with a quill pen.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments!

I will be happy to post more pictures when I have more pictures to post! My Book of Earth is constantly in progress and under construction, and I only started work on it a month ago (about), so these are the only pages that have substantial content so far. When I do more, I will certainly be happy to share! I'm glad to be able to share the joy of my art. :)

I am seriously about to post some more pictures. I just took a bunch but I'm using my boyfriend's phone for a camera and it ran out of battery before I could finish and it'll be a few hours but they're coming, I promise, along with a few other crafty things I've done of late. :D :D :D
