Landscape Plotted and Pieced

...to make our lives an art...

Another good idea from Carmon's blog.
Carmon describes a lady who is copying the Bible in her own handwriting, but doing it with style. To begin, she bought 11x17 cardstock onto which she would copy God's word. She is using books with old woodcuts and illustrations which she photocopies and pastes onto her pages, and she illuminates some letters (looking at examples from some of her books) in the tradition of medieval scribes. She said that her project will take about five years if she is diligent, and when she is finished she hopes to have several books filled with beautifully decorated handwritten pages of Scripture which she plans to bind herself.

That sounds like something I would like to do as part of my personal devotions, although it would probably take me twenty years to finish the project!
