<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9562262, member: 76316&quot;]This is the second item from my friend, Anne. The cotton string is perhaps 10 feet long, and has a few knots in it. Each of the interior leaves is ~9&quot; by ~1 1/4&quot; by maybe .025&quot;, and is a piece of dried plant foliage that has a great many characters cut into each face. I am unfamiliar with the form of the characters, so they may be shown here upside down. Because I can see light through some of them, I initially thought the reverse of each leaf was mirrored from the front...but I no longer think that is so; seems that both sides are unique, so the &#039;story&#039; (if it is one) occupies roughly 150 faces, each containing perhaps 200 characters...all hand-cut! Amazing really doesn&#039;t describe how this item feels to me...I&#039;ve never seen the like, anywhere. Only one of the 75 or so leaves has what appears to be <i>inked</i> characters (pic 5); all the others are simply cut into each surface (like pic 6).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll follow this post with the rest of the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457709[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457711[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
