Finally every page printed. 32 different plants printed in isolation, each showcased in their own right. Here is a selection.
I also printed some of my book pages without the background. The plants are so lovely on their own I didn’t want to clutter them.
Having decided how the book construction should look I spent half a day making some handmade paper as fly leaves between the sections. Using recycled cotton rag paper scraps combined with banana tree pulp I created the finest paper I’ve ever made. Hold it up to the window and I can see through it. . . well, almost.
These sheets, now dry, have been cut to size and attached to a more robust plant fibre paper to be sewn into the spine.
