offcntrDenise has been busy this winter, taking a book arts class at LCC, learning paper marbling, cyanotype, paste papers, suminagashi, even how to make her own book cloth. She was also invited to submit a piece for a show of past instructors from the Newport Paper & Book Arts Festival, taking place at the Newport Visual Arts Center. We talked a bit about what she should submit; I suggested that, as she'd taught paper making, she should make up a sample book of her work.
Here's a couple of pictures of the finished product: 42 sheets of handmade paper, folded into four-page folios and bound into a big little book. It's about equally divided between plant-based pulps (grasses, straws, lily and daffodil leaves), paper-based pulps (recycled Braille and office papers, with natural dyes and floral inclusions), and cloth-based pulps (blue jean scrap and various colored cotton t-shirts).
Oh, and did I mention? It's gorgeous.
