Story By Story Books
Create a custom Story By Story handmade book especially for you and your family that will be cherished for a long time to come. The subjects are as creative as you are ranging from personal stories to tribute books, whether you’re an individual family, a business or a non-profit institution.
When hand crafting these books, it is important to us to capture the spirit of the content within the graphics and design as well. It is this unique combination of words, images and sculptural forms that initially drew our founder, Rick Black, into the book arts. The essence of that passion stays with us through each project we complete for you.
DIGITal Photo Art – Custom PHOTOgraphic STYLIZING
You can hire us and our award-winning photographer to take photos of your house or business — or you can send them directly to us. Within a week to ten days, you will receive a beautiful digital painting from one of these pictures. As we like to say, “Our computer is your paintbrush.” For more information, please check our Digital photo art page and our store.
Talks and Workshops
Your audience will get a moving, insider’s glimpse of what’s it’s like to live in the Middle East today. Drawing on his years of journalism experience, a deep knowledge of Hebrew poetry and his own writings, Rick sketches the contours of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a memorable way and outlines the chances for peace. In addition, workshops create a safe atmosphere in which people are encouraged to write their own memoirs or poems. To find out more about specific ones, please click here.
Fine art prints and note cards
Whether you’re looking for a limited edition print or a framable note card, Turtle Light Press has available a large variety of images in our store gallery for you to peruse at your leisure. Choose from a tranquil Japanese sumi-e ink painting or a Picasso-like rendition of a musician. You’ll be sure to find something that suits your taste.
