My Flickr photostream recently caught the attention of Duc N. Ly, who asked me to comment on the origin of Bible Design Blog and on my interest in leather goods generally. If you'd like to read the brief interview, follow the link: J. Mark Bertrand. Here's an excerpt:
I expected some interest, but nothing like what ended up happening. Turns out there are a lot more people fascinated by Bible design and binding than I ever realized, and quite a few of them visit the site regularly, contributing to the “community” feel. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve certainly learned a lot!
If you want to take a look at the photostream, you'll find it here. But I warn you in advance, it's just an endless iteration of leather objects for the most part.
Hello J. Mark.
Just a reminder for your readers that we English-speakers have such a luxury of so many translations to choose from. More than 2,000 language groups around the world don't have a single verse translated into their own language!
Blessings today.
