[@tanyajuli4145]

First, let me say: this is extraordinary. World class. Second, I got hung up researching the image at 53:33 of Dustmaker, the Ponca Indian. You happened upon an image from a large collection that has been lauded by modern historians and anthropologists and the first of its kind. Here's some background: (From Wikipedia)Frank Albert Rinehart (1861-1928) was an American artist famous for his photography capturing Native American personalities and scenes, especially portrait settings of leaders and members of the delegations who attended the 1898 Indian Congress in Omaha. ... In 1898, and in occasion of the Indian Congress held in conjunction with the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, Rinehart was commissioned to photograph the event and the Native American personalities who attended it.[1] Together with his assistant Adolph Muhr (who would later be employed by the famous photographer Edward S. Curtis), they produced what is now considered "one of the best photographic documentations of Indian leaders at the turn of the century".[2] Tom Southall, former photograph curator at the University of Kansas' Spencer Art Museum, said of the Rinehart collection: The dramatic beauty of these portraits is especially impressive as a departure from earlier, less sensitive photographs of Native Americans. Instead of being detached, ethnographic records, the Rinehart photographs are portraits of individuals with an emphasis on strength of expression. While Rinehart and Muhr were not the first photographers to portray Indian subjects with such dignity, this large body of work which was widely seen and distributed may have had an important influence in changing subsequent portrayals of Native Americans.[2] To see a complete collection, check this out on flickr www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/sets/72157622672603941/

Tanya Juli tanya that is absolutely fascinating, thankyou SO much! Well that western style studio portrait makes a lot more sense now, and yes, he has really captured his beauty and individuality.

This isn't a book, it's a piece of art. I could feel every bit of the work you did, being a paper crafter myself, and dear gods woman, your labor of love has paid off. I enjoyed your talk in the beginning as well, it was like listening to an enjoyable podcast. I usually don't like lengthy or talkative flip throughs but this was a shining exception. I am absolutely in awe of your imagination, talent, and cleverness. The music box is such a sweet addition, and I love Für Elise. **standing ovation** ENCORE!

[@catherinebrown5476]

.....a trembling hand unlocks a dusty glass specimen cabinet, moves aside the brass microsope...the glass slides covered in old stains are carefully removed. Slowly, he approaches the non-descript cardboard box covered in stains and labels bearing the evidence of a lifetime of travel.....his heart flutters, his hand hesitates as stoops to reveal its contents.for here lies the book he has slowly curated over decades. Gently he lifts the lid, Fur Elise ehoes in his mind.. his student days in Germany....camphor, leather, cloves and acid drift faintly into his nostrils. His mind whirls through time...Africa, the Mystical East, dark European cities...the interface between science, magic, and myth. Mysticism, reality, experimentation...a lifetime of searching. Learning.....posing questions and now is the time to write. He must commit it all, preserve the secrets long buried in the recesses of his memory. The book is a worthy repository. He opens the box takes out the clock, turns the dial and drifts....the pen begins to scratch and the sunlight dances on the rust and gold. This is truly a magical piece of craftsmanship. An artwork that transcends a mere "book" and creates an intimate imaginary world in a tangible form. It challenges our senses our intellect and encourages us to enter a tantalising world created by the artist. That is what makes it so stunning....it makes anything possible.....

[@diannahauf5136]

Catherine Brown perfect! ❤

[@jibidneary2212]

Catherine Brown thankyou for anither lovely literary painting catherine, as you know, i always enjoy reading what you have thought about, thankyou x

[@artcraftjournals]

Pardon my ignorance where does this quote come from?

[@jibidneary2212]

Oh you have to look out for catherine's stories on other videos too, she is so clever how she creates these atmospheric scenes that go alongside the journals, she is a wonderful storyteller :)

[@blondelebanese9922]

Catherine Brown As in awe as I am of this incredible piece of artwork, I’m equally in awe of your image producing words. As I read your comment describing a scene from another point in time, I saw in my mind’s eye every detail. I could smell the dusty surrounding that would have been present in such a scenario. My goodness, you must be a true writer of historical fiction. If you are not, you certainly should be. Between the book and your writing, I am absolutely transfixed! Bravo!!❤️😻🙏🏼 Namaste🙏🏼
