What a trip to have an ancient blog post photo go viral on Pinterest ten years after the fact! This beauty was included in a 2009 feature I wrote about Rag & Bone Bindery’s handmade albums and journals, AND owner Jason Thompson’s then not yet released paper craft book, Playing with Books. The woven paper basket is one of the projects and it was photographed by Karen Philippi. The hardcover book, I might add, is still available and doing well... no wonder as the other projects are equally gorgeous and besides, paper crafts are timeless!

The Waterpocket Fold is a warp in the earth’s crust where layers of sediment on the western side have risen 7,000 feet relative to the east side. The Fold runs approximately 100 miles from Lake Powell to Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. Photo taken a few miles north of the historic Burr Trail, which runs from the Fold to Boulder, Utah.

The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.
The second fold signifies our belief in eternal life.
The third fold is made in honor and tribute of the veteran departing our ranks, and who gave a portion of his or her life for the defense of our country to attain peace.
The fourth fold exemplifies our weaker nature as citizens trusting in God; it is to Him we turn for His divine guidance.
The fifth fold is an acknowledgment to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The seventh fold is a tribute to our armed forces, for it is through the armed forces that we protect our country and our flag against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day.
The ninth fold is an honor to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty, and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since he or she was first-born.
The 11th fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit.
The last fold, when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”
Fold each section loosely, line up the edges, then hold them firmly. Because there are several layers of paper, when you fold each signature, the paper at the fore edge will form a peak. If this bothers you, you can trim the edges later, but I think it adds a homemade touch.
This is the restored mill in Renkum. For many many years only the base was what was left of the mill. I knew from the local newspaper that it had been restored, but it took about a year for me before I finally cycled past the mill, kind of by coincidence. I made many shots while the sails were turning, and then moved to the other side. As I did that I noticed the sails had stopped turning and the millers were folding the sails.
Another of the "Looks a bit like a Brompton folding bike - but isn't." This one's called a 16 Teen.
Having tried to fold another "not a Brompton" for a friend recently I'm really glad I got a real Brompton :)
One of three sculptures by Jonas Nobel along "Eskilsstråket" in Handen. Haninge had a big laundry industry one century ago. This artwork is made from aluminium and rests on a base made from concrete.
for the office... where we frequently need extra seating, but don't have space to keep it there permanently.
