Moth Book #1: DUKKHA

7/8/2015

DUKKHA was the reason I wanted to start Moth Books.  I fell in love with this concept of dukkha, and found all of these wonderful quotes on dukkha, and thought: "These would make great little books.  I could make them!"

As is the actual nature of dukkha, things did not go as planned.  I had thought I could make them by hand and sell them for fun.  I got permissions for all the quotes, but I found  I wasn't good at making really nice books... and the idea of selling ideas that are not mine -- and more importantly, are wonderful to share -- became more and more distasteful.  

But I was still in love with the idea of MOTH books, "Books Made with My Own Two Hands."  So, what to do?

So, this.  Here is my first Moth Book, DUKKHA, which I've decided will exist as a slideshow in my forest to share with everyone who happens to wander this way.  Please enjoy.

Don't give up on yourself. YOU can make a little book, or any size book. You just have to stack a pile of paper and have a front and back sturdier weight paper and keep them all even (clips) and sew a Japanese stab binding (youtube tutorials to the rescue) and you have made a beautiful book. Stack inside papers with you moth stories/quotes/illustrations/the sky is the limit. You can do it! Here is a visual of one of mine: www.thefairyyellowbugqueen.blogspot.com/2015/03/tools-of-trade.html

Maldives is where I want to get my honeymoon done. I mean, if I am going to get married, I want my wife to experience the best thing possible. There is no place like the Maldives, I will tell you that much. It is such a beautiful place, and everyone deserves to go and enjoy the place, at least once in their entire stay. I think that we just need to go and try it out as soon as we can.
