***For those kind souls who don't mind reading, here are more than several words about the creator: since early age the creator had always felt the magic of the written language, the power of the letters and its mute but vibrant energy. When the conscious age took over, there came an understanding that something is missing in our lives, something that brings us support and encouragement whatever happens to us, something that can always be there no matter what. That something happened to be found in the knowledge of peoples around the world, our forgotten source of wisdom that is still day by day being put and reput into letters in the hope of being heard. While hitchhiking around some parts of the world and experiencing that famous in-the-middle-of nowhere sensation, the creator could find strength and encouragement in inspirational quotes collected in the path of life. Sharing – that’s what was on the creator’s mind as the magic of quotes worked, healed and allowed to move fearlessly forward… well, almost fearlessly))
Texting to close ones and familiar people inspirational wisdom was helpful but the creator was many times asked to remind it all over again and again which led the creator to think that again something was missing. The idea to put inspirational, motivational quotes in wood had always been there in the air, but it was greatly enhanced in Paris where once the creator saw a wee plank of wood with some painted words on it. Paint was to easy an option, so to make life harder the creator had an urge to burn all wisdoms on a wooden surface and started thinking and then looking for a wood burning device…Until one lovely day when travelling around the South Island (New Zealand), someone asked the creator “Why don’t you try a magnifying glass?” and there you go, the magic started...***
