Bulgarian Amulet Prints - The First Phase of an Exciting New Project

These peculiar amulets are inspired from Manuscript #646 from the Bulgarian National Library “St. st. Cyril and Methodius”. It was written in 1787 for a gentleman named Niketa and is a compilation of various text and stamp amulets for good fortune and protection against various evils. This series pays homage to this exotic written treasure and offers some artistic additions to the otherwise short compilation. These amulets are meant to be carried with the owner or put in special places for continued protection. People from the past had a strong fascination with such object and they came in many forms, either in loose leaf formats such as this one, sometimes scrolls or book compilations, as is the original source.

Its taken 14.5 Billion years for the universe to evolve the perfect mustache. I am proud to have witnessed this momentous occasion.

[@theresa_lili]

Keith you are wise beyond your years.

[@KB-nm5rp]

Every video from you is so deeply inspiring to me, and I'm not a bookbinder. It's the quality and care you and your father put into your craft... I endeavor to do the same.

[@tracyhickman1359]

I love that fringed leather end band detail at top of spine, your work is so spectacular and love this new modern design based on tradition

[@yelena86]

Thank you for my Inspiration Amulet. It arrived safely.....and is delightful. The print will be framed and the silver piece will be incorporated into a piece of my own textile art. Inspirational indeed!!

[@scr5051]

Que interesante ver este canal

[@kleinaca1]

Your prints are too charming! btw is that your laptop fans in the background again? if so maybe open it up and give them a little cleaning? would improve the sound quality of your vids greatly

[@buckbundy8642]

I’m in North America. Is it possible for me to purchase one?

[@marsbeads]

The information is in the description, just below the video screen.

Здравей ! Под едно от твоите видеа имаше линк към платени видеа -уроци ,но не го откривам. Все още ли правиш такива видеа ?

[@Stopan]

Здравей, Северина и благодаря за интереса! Платените видеа са достъпни с бутона JOIN под видеата, но те не са обучителни. Те са по-скоро какво се случва зад кулисите, за тези на които им е интересно и искат да видят какво се случва извън тези публичните видеа. Засега не съм пускал нищо подобно на уроци, просто засега нямам възможност план как това точно да стане. Поздрави и успехи!

[@severinamileva5245]

@@Stopan ,благодаря ти..Аз установих ,че не само в България тази професия е почти изчезнала и не мога да открия майстор ,при който бих могла да отида за съвет ...Това няма да ме спре.!Благодаря за хубавите видеа 🙂
