This is another reposting of a book that Blogspot removed one day as objectionable but deemed OK the next. This Big Brother stuff is getting ridiculous.
I realized when I went to upload the recent work that I hadn't put up any photos of the journal and books I had made in 2020. The Forest Lore was the first of the group I made in the February of 2020. It is 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep. There are 12 signatures with an average of 10 pages.
After putting the book together I added a photo to the cover. Then I cut out a tree silhouette in the center of a rectangular piece of cardboard a bit smaller than the front cover. I painted to match the fabric cover of the book before gluing it on top.
I added the title on the spine and painted the raised spine gold.
In addition to tea-dyed pages, old book pages, sheet music, brown paper bag, and accounting pages this book included some of my original art; an etching on my handmade paper, a photo I took of tree bark printed on vellum, and a 12 x 18-inch black ink etching folded. I also included tags, a small matchbox-styled notebook, a cut-out window, machine stitching, envelops, and tuck spots.
