A new book – cataloguing of the names of different leaf shapes. I used the rubber stamps I carved for my first book ‘Autumn Leaves – A Pocket Guide’ but printed them with my new neon inks. Printing the blue on top of the yellow makes a good bold green, with the added bonus of extra colours when slightly mis-registered. The colour prints well on the heavy Somerset velvet paper. The labels are photopolymer stamps I made, and printed in midnight blue. Endpapers are also a photopolymer stamp I created from hand drawn leaf pattern. The neon yellow ink prints really well on bright blue paper… makes your eyes jump. Cloth covered boards for the cover with a book cloth label and pamphlet stitching. To be added to the shop very soon...
