Cotton rag paper prints beautifully but is soft and needs a sympathetis subject to bring out its best qualities. I’ve always felt that Autumn is a softer season, slightly melancholy and well suited to this type of limp binding. Using environmentally- printed papers with their soft natural colours seems to work well with the poem, and I enjoyed bringing the ripeness of the season to the book. A hand made book with concertina spine on cotton rag paper. Collaged pages with cut shapes, some from natural dyes, some ink and painted pieces. Printed with the opening stanza of John Keats poem ‘ To Autumn’.
