This collaged book created in 1991 is one with a philosophic thread. Pages are treated with tea and watercolor. Chapters are based on the qualities needed to aquire beautiful penmanship (as a metaphor for Art). Each chapter heading is marked by a number spelled in several languages—the one's the artist speaks which include French, Italian, Spanish, German and English. This chapter heading is followed by a word (perception, sensitivity, etc.). The text includes a illustrated whimsical moral lessons. The end of the book contains a coda of philisophical reflections.
