Suminagashi looks all topographic

Here's a box that commemorates the creation of a park on Flathead Lake.



Even though the grain didn't run in the right direction for my purposes, and the ink ran when the paper was pasted, I enjoyed working with blueprints as cover and liner paper for the box and the book that fits inside it. (I used Japanese suminagashi paper for elsewhere.)

Volunteer Park will be dedicated Sept. 9, 2010, in Lakeside, Montana: hurrah!

Here's how it looked just a couple of months before.
