I recently participated in a print exchange with a few fellow members of the New England Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers<\/a>. Our instructions were to create a\u00a0print edition\u00a0using any medium we desired around the optional theme of Spring. The prints were then sent through the mail to each other. So in the end I made 11 prints (plus a few extras) and received 11 different prints from everyone else.<\/p>\n

The print I created was part collaboration with my husband. He drew an image that I had turned into a metal die, which was heated and pressed into paper. I chose two papers handmade by Katie MacGregor, orange and a sort of dull algae green. Once the impression was made, I then drew several\u00a0marks with colored pencils. The dots are hand-stitched french knots.<\/p>\n

It was fun to send these out into the world, but it was more fun to receive so much interesting mail over the course of a week. Here are the rest of prints from the exchange:<\/p>\n
