Colophon: "This book was printed on pages of Creative Hands by Doris Cox and Barbara Warren Weismann. Other papers used were Rives Strathmore, Hahnemühle, Stonehenge, and laid linen. The text and images were printed with letterpress, Solar Plates, and screen printing. The Journal and recipe were laser printed. Stephanie Copoulos-Selle, introduction: "Quilts, wooden toys, pillow cases, and other handmade objects are items we treasure or hate. They are the record of the human urge to create. Creation is not the sole domain of poets and artists, but an integral part of all peoples. To live is to create. "From the beginning of history humans made objects that went beyond mere necessity. They enhanced surfaces of pottery with paint and carvings. From found rocks and bones they created small intimate sculptures to carry with them. They buried their dead with loving symbols of remembered life, precious artifacts, and the promise of another world. "Humans have spent time remaking favorite things from the past or unique objects never seen before. The results are accomplishments but the end product is not always the goal. The process or the act of making is the core of the creative force. That process can encompass frustration or pleasure, but the desire to make continues.
