Overflow
– Out of Print –
It is the sustaining liquid of life. It refreshes, revives and drowns us. We pour ourselves into it, it washes over us, we drown in laughter. It takes on the shape of anything it is in. It sparkles, changes color and moves hypnotically. Water is a perfect theme and variations. This book is a kaleidoscope of original watercolors, all painted on Somerset Satin by hand. The painting got the paper wet, so we kept the paper damp for printing, which allows the metal Centaur type to sink luxuriously into the paper. The challenge is to get the paper to just the right amount of dampness for just the right length of time to print both sides of the paper on different days, and then of course, to get it dry and flat again. The ultimate challenge is to finish the printing in enough time to complete the binding of the edition. The neophyte writer/ illustrator/ typesetter/ printer/ binders have completed their trial by water. And now you can purchase this 62-page book. The edition size is 60 copies, and the size of the book is 8.5″ wide by 7.5″ tall.The binding has chain stitches on the spine while soft waves wash over the blue Japanese cloth cover.
