Collaberative Artist's Book

So, I'm headed out shortly to a friends house were a small group of us are getting together to compile our Artist's book project. There our seven of us and each of us will be contributing a single signature to each others book. There were no rules on what your signature should include other than it have a paste paper outer cover and 2 inner sheets. The pages must be flat, no dimensional elements, that's it. We will be adding a vellum sheet (design of our choice for our own book) to be inserted between each of the two inner sheets of each signature thus having a common element for our book.

I did nature printing and hand printing, literally painting my hand and pressing it onto the paper. I choose to use parent sheets for all this and then cut them down to the size for the book. I also did color washing and masking. On the color wash only pages I have the following quotes:

Faith
Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. No one was there.

Lovers alone wear Sunlight. ee cummings

I will have pics of the finished book posted later .... stay tuned.
