More Frogs!
Finally got around to photographing my favorite book that I made last fall. Here are the illustrations:
These are all linoleum block prints on Arches cover white (signatures of the book) and buff (end papers). I'm still amazed at how perfectly the Crane Attack image lined up - it's printed on two separate signatures, so I had to cut the plate in half and print each half separately and hope they aligned correctly when I sewed everything together. (The photo I posted earlier of the Crane Attack is of a print I pulled before I cut the block.) Anyway, I'm really pleased with how the book came out and I would love to do more book making one day.
