New Designs of 2012 season.
Since Feb. of 2011, I have been monoprinting everyday using the Akua Inks. Many of the papers I am using to cover my books are handprinted designs (mostly) using natural forms placed right on the plate. Vinca, Rhododendron, Ginkgo, Wild Ginger are to name a few of the flora - My husband owns Halls Pond Gardens ( http://www.hallspondgardens.blogspot.com/) so, I am fortunate to have ample supply of plants from which to print with.
I am moving away fom commercial papers in my bookmaking. With the use of monoprints, paste paper and silkscreen , I have a lot to choose from of my own creations -and I reallly enjoy the process. Designer at heart. The books designs remain simple , most containing poetry inside.
