The videos of the French-born Adeline Pastor need no commentary.

Illumination
...of the calligraphic kind.
This is astounding. Donald Jackson and team completes a 12 year project of a seven volume illuminated Bible.
Go here to page through some selected books. Some of the artwork is very iconographic in nature.
These are just some of the reproductions available.

Books about Books! and how to make them
GretchenJoanna left a comment on my "What I did on my summer vacation" post.
She said she would like to learn how to bind books.
Here's a list of books I have enjoyed using.
Here are a few I want to add to my library, recommended by Bridget Elmer, the instructor at Ox-Bow.
These just look wonderful...must...have...them........
And here is Bridget Elmer's site, the instructor at Ox-Bow.
I saw both these books at Ox-Bow. They are beautiful. "We can go beyond it" is a fascinating, moving piece of art.

Artists: Fitz Hugh Lane
When I lived in the Boston area, I loved going to the MFA and stand in front of the Lane pieces. The way he made light on the canvases took my breath away. These reproductions do not do the work justice.
Lane was born in Gloucester. I used to go to the shore at Gloucester on Sunday afternoons, and sit on the stone wall, watching the boats, the people, the water, the gulls. It was very pleasant and restorative.

Around the web
Cats and dogs have at last got something in common - at least when it comes to quenching their thirst.
Trying to avoid this at all costs.
Art technique videos from Dick Blick and Cheap Joe's.
NASA image galleries. (Goosebumps...when I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.)
Lots of information about the Great Lakes here, here, and here. Oh, and here and here about GL Lighthouses.
Cool wildlife cams.
