This book is so intriguing to me because of the centuries-old traditions it brings together—papermaking, bookbinding, and basket weaving. Roberta learned this twining technique from her brother-in-law, a master weaver. She adapted the technique to work with paper and then presented it at the Guild of Book Workers conference in 2007. This sharing of knowledge is also a time-honored tradition. The student becomes the teacher, and this transfer of knowledge keeps the art form alive.

This is a detail from a larger oil painting by Perugino which also includes the figure of Joseph of Arimathea, who is depicted in silent shock as a bewildered young Nicodemus assists the dead Christ out of his tomb.
