THE
GARDEN BOOK
This is an altered book I started over four years ago, and added
to from time to time. Sadly, this is one book I don't have many
pictures for, as I lost the artwork when my old computer crashed. And
as this one has been sold and is now in a private collection, I can't
photograph them again! So this is all I can show you.

COVER |
|
I cut out an aperture to show the handmade paper underneath. The cover itself is a paste paper technique over gold Lumiere. |

The sheet of handmade paper in full, showing the paper flowers actually pressed into the pulp (and a touch of glitter). |

JAPANESE PAGE - OPEN |

Gel transfer bottom right, and the residue of the transfer opposite, then napkin tissue layered over the top. The group of geishas is a transparency layered over a gel transfer for extra depth. |
