My Intro to Letterpress students carved figures out of MDF that will become an exquisite corpse.<br />
<br />
Our Technical Services Department hosted the event and offered free wood, carving workshops and the use of carving tools. They also offered laser printing and the CNC router as an alternative to carving images. It made for a broad variety of approaches in making relief plates for printing.<br />
<br />
I opted to go with laser to see how some of my oak tree images would look. I made them as big as would print in my Vandercook Universal III, 18 x 24 inches. The prints I made on the letterpress are much more refined that the one printed by the steamroller. Imagine that!<br />

The process I've been developing over the last ten years to reproduce letterpress printed continuous tone prints of flora and fauna has been perfected further for the new book. The images were captured during my walks through the local woodlands near my house. Sometimes it's a good idea to look down.<br />

I've been testing various ways of contacting printing leaves on paper for my upcoming artist's book. It's been a delight to make one-of-a-kind books with all my tests. Since my projects typically take a couple of years to complete, the spontaneous making of these books has been nothing but fun. And they make great gifts!<div>

I took this workshop specifically to learn Leslie's methods to compliment my burgeoning interest in nature printing. Although I have been making letterpress prints for some time of botanical specimens I wanted to print directly from plant material.<br />
<br />
The new book I'm working on is about a particular ancient Valley oak tree I visit on my daily walks on the trails near my home in Simi Valley, CA. There is a companion volume planned about other similar trees in the surrounding area.<br />
<br />
I collected fallen leaves to print the cover and some interior pages using a process sometimes called "eco-printing" which is commonly done on protein-based fabric. I was interested in using cellulose fiber (paper) for my project.<br />

I call it a sewn board style binding because with the text block to be a drum leaf the cover folio was not to be sewn, but glued.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From Karen Hanmer's handout at the 2013 Guild of Book Workers Standards of Excellence seminar:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<br />
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The sewn boards binding is Gary Frost’s elegant, modern adaptation of an ancient method of
board attachment. Stiffened outer signatures sewn along with the text block function as the
book’s boards.
</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The drum leaf binding, developed by Tim Ely, has features in common with preexisting Eastern
and Western binding structures. This adhesive binding is a perfect structure for printmakers,
photographers, or anyone who desires to present visual narratives with no sewing thread to
interrupt the flow of imagery. Because a drum leaf book is not laid out in signatures but made of
single-sided folios, the complexities of imposition are not encountered when laying out text. Like
the sewn boards, the drum leaf can also utilize stiffened outer folios as the book’s boards.
</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Both structures can be dressed up or down with a variety of spine treatments, board-covering
materials, and edge decoration techniques. Both books open flat. </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I settled on a drum leaf text block so that I could slip the translucent overlay containing the poem inside the foredge between pages. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That left a lot of possibilities open for the binding of the book. The first think I wanted to try was a dos rapporte binding that I learned in a workshop. <span style="background-color: white;">the dos rapporté binding is a spine construction developed by Benjamin Elbel that provides books with a great opening and a sleek contemporary character.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div>

The final images were printed with 3 custom colors using the stochastic dot on all 3 plates, printed on natural thick kozo paper.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The technique I had been using with great success to reproduce botanical specimens was proofing ineffective for rendering the shape and depth of these animals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was back to the drawing board to try to come up with a process that could represent the vibrancy and volume of marine creatures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried a progression of stochastic dot experiments on more of the plates in an effort to print smooth, realistic images.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was admiring the reproduction of specimens I found in Victorian era naturalist books.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>CHROMOLITHOGRAPH</strong><span style="background-color: white;">: This is the process by which lithographs are color printed. As many lithographic stones, each with an identical image, were used as colors were needed, each stone carrying different colors on the replicated drawing. Often colors were overprinted to get different tones or colors (blue and yellow make green). While chromolithography was employed to save money over of costly hand-coloring, it was often a difficult process that required skilled “chromistes” who knew the art of color-mixing. Alignment or registration of the paper on each separate stone also required great skill so that the final printed image did not appear blurred. Sometimes as many as a dozen or more stones each bearing the same image drawn with a waxy crayon were colored and overprinted. The first large chromolithographs done in the U.S. were by Julius Bien, a German immigrant, for the sons of John James Audubon who published what is known as the Bien edition of the Birds of America 1858-60.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went to tide pools in Southern California during extreme low tides a couple times a month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of the animals were alive at the time of photographic capture. The exceptions are a pretty red abalone shell and a Norris Top Snail shell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I shot several of the creatures through water using a polarizing filter, but mostly the animals were plucked out of the water and set on a nearby rock where I quickly shoot them with a Nikon 7100 dslr and a macro lens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; word-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My new artist's book looks back to the beginnings of my passion for exploration and observation of native species to a time when I collected sea animals gathered at low tide to bring home and live in an aquarium in my girlhood bedroom.</span></span><br />

I have orders so the pressure is on. <br />
<br />
This state of the "Where Stucco Meets Chaparral" is 10 full leather books housed in clamshell boxes with additional botanical prints not found in the book. Ten leather books, what was I thinking?<br />
<br />
I've got the first 5 underway and they have completely taken over every available surface in the studio.<br />

It also shows the collection locations of the specimens in the book. Also, all the sites of the old movie sets from when the area was a popular movie ranch and location for many cowboy movies and television shows.<br />

<i style="font-weight: normal;">Where Stucco Meets Chaparral </i></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like the self-taught naturalists of the Victorian era, my recent work examines the intersection of my artistic and scientific interests by collecting and cataloging the natural world. I am inspired to record, interpret and celebrate nature.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my new artist’s book I observe the natural world around me. <i>Where Stucco meets Chaparral </i>explores the trails though the sandstone formations, chaparral and oak woodlands that surround my home in an arid inland valley in Southern California and my connection to the landscape. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Where Stucco meets Chaparral</i> is a printed herbarium of local California native plants with stories of local and natural history and personal observation gathered during many </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">years of daily walks. Detailed images of seven indigenous plants are letterpress printed in multiple colors in tight registration through their seasonal life cycles that contrast hand-carved representations of the environmental context where they prevail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Where Stucco Meets Chaparral</i> is published in three states:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 9px;">
The <i>Standard Edition</i>, numbered 1 - 25, is 108 pages and is printed on Somerset bound in the simplified style with printed abaca wrapped boards and a cloth spine.</div>

The books are longstitched sewn with waxed hand-dyed linen thread through a cover of rough heavyweight Twinrocker unbleached abaca. The spine is reinforced with a folded piece of green goat parchment. A bone button wrapped with a braid of linen thread forms the closure. </span></div>

<br />
So, after many agonizing months of type drama and delay (set, proof, reject, recast. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Honestly, hot pokers forced under my fingernails may have been less painful) the printing of the type is well underway.<br />
<br />
There are three types of text: short prose poems about my connection to the landscape in 12pt California Old Style italic, 10pt herbarium collection data and 12pt roman main text with information about the plants and natural and local history.<br />
<br />
There are quite a few printing tasks ahead. 36pt California Old Style italic plant species names and heads printed over the wood type. Background plant images for folios 1 and 2. Small caps half-title and chapter openings. Title page. Small cap collection dates. Prints and map to accompany the deluxe edition. In order words, I still have a way to go.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, and then there's the binding.<br />

It can from Italy so the size is a little weird like 11 line or about 1 3/4 inches tall. The front is complete with multiples of most letters and numbers. This type will be overprinted by the 36 pt California italic for both the common and botanical names of native plants.<div><br></div><div><img id="id_da6a_ee5a_d063_46ec" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-HNJDcaKP_Cw/UbJpw0mgeVI/AAAAAAAAAho/QCjKQXSe9yA/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" alt="" title="" style="margin: 4px; width: 524px; height: 393px; "></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_9d8d_676b_b1ac_c331" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7iGa0R9OBJQ/UbJpxkvjIOI/AAAAAAAAAhw/FR_aoEw53gw/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" alt="" title="" style="margin: 4px; width: 532px; height: 399px; "></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_edaf_852c_5e74_e305" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WmmOz7Llj1w/UbJpzkhZe_I/AAAAAAAAAh4/sr2PgGLMw9E/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" alt="" title="" style="margin: 4px; width: 531px; height: 395.87620357634114px; "></div><div><br></div><div>Isn't it amazing?</div>Rebecca Chamleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03711875700497210069noreply@blogger.com1
