The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life's Work at 72 by Molly Peacock

Summer bingo-Set in more than one time period
"Craft is engaging. It results in a product. The mind works in a state of meditation in craft, almost the way we half-meditate in heavy physical exercise. There is a marvelously obsessive nature to craft that allows a person to dive down through the ocean of everyday life to a seafloor of meditative making. It is an antidote to what ails you."
This book was so enjoyable and relaxing to read. I found it fascinating to read about the life of Mary Granville Pendarves Delany and how she came to make her amazing artwork. The color photos of her art are lovely and enhanced my reading experience.
