This is my first book, it is a hand made book.

The book is made by Chinese old-style paper, the texture is rough, you can smell the aroma of grass.

I binded this book by hand with flax rope.

I drew the pages and wrote the words by using traditional Chinese painting colour and ink.

These are more nature materials and method.

 

這是我出版的第一本書,全人手製作。

採用中國書畫墨、顏料、紙張,麻繩。

內容用毛筆寫、畫 。
用中式釘裝方法。

草紙散發草的香氣,還有粗糙的手感。

這是一本比較自然及環保的書。

 

I drew only 60 books. Every pages are drew by hand, and binded by hand.

Each page have one idea, front is picture and simple sentence, back is short paragraph talking about the idea.

Every book have 30 ideas, but I drew about 50 ideas, they are distributed into different book randomly. Therefore, Every book are unique.

 

只製作六十本,因為每頁都是人手繪畫,每本都是人手釘裝。

每頁都有一個發人心醒的題材,配上相關的圖案,背頁有較詳細的解釋。

全書有三十頁,即三十個題材,但我設計了紉五十個題材,隨機分配在各本書中,令每本書都是獨一無二。

 

 

In this book, there are 50% of ideas are about environmental protection.

I drew every pages are in relative place , most are outdoor.

I believe that readers can feel the sun, rain, river & sea water, bird sang, my happiness...are inside my book!

這本書有一半內容是與環保有關。其他是關於健康和樂觀。

我畫每個題材都到相關地點繪畫,大多數是戶外。

我覺得紙能吸收太陽、月亮、風、雨水、海、河、鳥聲、我的快樂、和每個地方的感受。
