I used to be passionate about book and paper arts, blank books, juolnaring, visual journals, and yes, even learned to bind my own blank books and visited exhibitions of hand-crafted books and journals. I was totally absorbed by the art and craft of these beautiful creations all before I started blogging four years ago. Your post has brought me back to the days before I'm a blogger. The art of making things by hand, and writing with a pen in a journal, and making the process an artistic expression. So in a way, blogging and the digital revolution is a reduction. Not nostalgia, but the demolition of an art form. Thank you for this post, Stefanie. It presents a generation gap'.
