The Nathan Project Revisited

1/29/2015

Nathan asked me to make another book, this time for Reverend Ginger from his temple.  She did the calligraphy on the cover and he wanted to thank her with a book.  I chose the colors and materials myself this time, and I'm happy with the results.  I hope they appeal to Reverend Ginger as well.  I had scanned the Il Won Sang image, so I was able to print it directly on the Hanji paper that covers the boards. The insides of the boards are covered with paper that I stained with natural walnut dye. I wrapped each signature with a tan-toned paper, which makes the spine a little less contrasty than if it were white paper.

By the way, if you are interested in Hanji paper, you should check out the work of Aimee Lee, a book artist and paper maker who has done more than anyone to help Americans understand the beauty and utility of Hanji.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for my book! It is beautiful. I love the color. I enjoyed reading about making the books, and seeing all the other books on your website.

Wow -- exquisite! Love the walnut-dyed paper and how it works with the tan-toned signature wraps. And the Hanji paper is absolutely luscious.
