🎨 Welcome
How best to assemble the book pages? The story is fluid so the order of the book pages can be easily changed. Right now I’m working on finalizing the order of the pages and getting the story text just right. The text will be bilingual (Turkish & English) so that’s the next step coming up soon.
I am working on my Cappadocia book in the early mornings now. With Springtime here in Ankara, it’s so lovely to watch the sunrise as I sit on the balcony and paint / edit / think.
Whatever time of day you love doing your creative work, I’m sending love to you. Keep going. 🌿
Good journey,
🦋 Book Pages
Here are a few of the book pages as they are in the layout. I’m putting on the final touches and designing the text bubbles. I need to find the best space to insert the English and Turkish versions of the story over the top of the paintings.
I’m also considering creating a border around each page and writing the text inside the border so that the paintings are not covered up at all. Still many decisions to make.

The artwork is so intricate and beautiful that text may detract from the story. Borders sounds like a good idea.
These are lovely, Emily. I really like your idea about putting the text in edging around the pages so that the images are not covered. I thing it is an interesting way to do it, maybe more engaging, and leaves your beautiful artwork undisturbed. You will know what works best for your heart as you put your book together. Enjoy the process!
