Colophon
I have a fascination with feathers. I have a growing collection and my featherdar improves with every feather I find on the ground.
I am fortunate to live in a beautiful are full of lively, colourful and varied birdlife. Since the day we moved in to our new home, I have been collecting feathers found on our block and placing them in this little book.
The internal pages are made from a Japanese Hosho paper making a pocket accordion structure. The little pockets hold the feathers.
The cover is made from my ow eco-printed paper – paper made with plant materials on my block. I made slip covers for the front and back covers, then another piece of eco-printed paper, folded and inserted as the spine to hold the book together. The paper is a Stonehenge 245gsm printmaking paper.
The structure folds together. No glue, stitching or tape – my favourite way to make handmade artist books.
I started this book mid-2019. It is still an ongoing project.
