The three Vintage Collage Books were created together as a limited edition, yet all three books are one-of-a-kind. The books began as three collages that I made out of high quality artist books, paper and maps. I then trimmed the collages to fit the 4.5 x 6.5 chip board covers. I fastened the covers using acid free PVA glue, and then some French Paper Co. card stock in pale orange for the inside cover. I chose that color because it looks SO GOOD with anything dark green, and these books all have a lot of green in them.
I then prepped the covers for Coptic binding and sewed in six signatures each of premium cream colored text block from Hollander's in Ann Arbor (luxury paper and book binding store, best in the land).
These books and many of the materials used to create order them were hand crafted with time and love in Michigan.
