I've been making little books every once in a while for a long time. It started with making little stories and illustrating them for the children of our friends. Now I ​I make a variety of little books. From notebook covers, to little books for one poem (little books of tears), to little blank notebooks, I like to make bookish things. 

One of the things I incorporate into my little books is cyanotype, an old process used to develop inexpensive copies of photographs, and is also the reason blueprints are blue. By treating paper with a solution, then placing objects (or negatives for photos, or drawings for blueprints) on top and leaving in the sun, a print will develop. There are also ways to make the prints not blue by soaking them in anything that has tannins (results in the black/sepia looking prints).

My work with cyanotype is about both the expected and unexpected shapes and depths of thigs--I find different objects more translucent than expected, or less.
