I Love these books!
The works in them are master pieces!
Unimaginable skills!
They show reduction and hand forged work
by true masters (and some Masters to be!)
Inlay work that will blow your Mind!
Damascus that will stop your Heart!
They use every kind of material out there
... Bones and stones and fossil mammoth ivory!
which is somehow both at once?
It's embarrassing to admit how much
I look forward to these books coming out.
Each one that comes my way ends up dogeared
and in tatters from me looking at the pictures
again and again!
Looked for it the other day in a store
but didn't see it?
Thought it didn't come out yet!
Little Scary the things that make me happy!
Wish the book store was open
at 3 or 4 in the morning!
