(More) New Papers
Sigh. There was apparently a trip to Kyoto. I think he may be wise to the fact I like cranes. Three are color variations of the same pattern.

Made. Of. Awesome.
The Strahov Philosophical Library in Prague is the subject of the "world's largest indoor photograph" at 40 Gigapixels. How detailed is it? The photo is taken in the center of the room. Zoom to the vellum bound book by the door. You can see the grain of the skin. It looks like the history of binding is contained in this room.

Tools
Time to retire an old friend. My trusty little red computer bag ($1.50 from Daiso) that I picked up when I had one bone folder and a snap knife has been getting a little overstuffed lately. With almost two years of acquiring new tools and toys, and it was time for a change.
Unpacking, that's the ruler case, mull, brushes, triangles, punch, fabric scissors, needles, sandpaper, primary tool case, bone folders, burnisher, tape, screw punch, glue, and sewing kit (plus miscellaneous loose tools).
My new tool bag with 26 pockets and a shoulder strap. The open mouth will also hold additional materials beyond the "standard" set up, and I can pull the smaller containers to travel light.
