These images are of a drum-leaf sampler book I made in Emily Martin's Artist Book class this past fall. We spent the first month of the class learning low-rent printmaking processes. Then we were assigned a printmaking process to include in the sampler book. I did the xerox transfer, a method that works best with type (the experiences I had with images were disappointing) so I worked with writing. I wanted it to look somewhat like a stencil and switched the rr's--if you work with transfer methods, you must remember that the letters need to be reversed or else they will be wrong reading--so in homage to this, I jokingly put the r backward. We all got examples of each person's printmaking process: stencils, stamps, gelatin printing, linoleum blocks, home-made stickers, ink-transfers, etc. I bound mine book with handmade paper from an earllier papermaking class.
