Gifts, Stocking Stuffers and Collectables
It was fun to make a few small books for the holidays, and I’m excited about a new, small body of 2D works (see below). I can accept checks or paypal (to paper [at] oregontrail dot net). Please send an email or give me a quick call (541-310-7413) to check availability of one-of-a-kind items so I can confirm your order before sending payment. Various Artist’s Books are available - if there’s a price listed, copies are in stock. “Paper by Hand” is also available.

Blank journal with inset tin frame and collage. Cover paper of walnut dyed flax (Cave Paper) with pages of Zerkall Nideggen, bound in a six-needle Coptic stitch. If you watched Oregon Art Beat, you saw me working on this piece during the episode. $175 (9.5 inches tall) |
|
Since we didn’t have time during the Art Beat filming to visit The Bargain Counter, our fab local thrift store, I figured I’d just bring some of my favorite finds to YOU. These groovy two-section books with limp case are made out of 100% reclaimed materials - book pages and ephemera (the *real* stuff, not photocopies) are collaged onto old manilla medical file folder paper then laminated with sewing pattern paper. The pages are green bar - that light-weight paper that we printed business reports on back in the days of dot-matrix printers. Boxes have an eyelet and elastic tie closure. $24 each (books 6” tall) |
|
Relief print of Coptic binding with sewn endbands printed on reclaimed heavy-weight library record folders. Blank on back.
Signed and numbered in an edition of 55. Some copies retain a small strip of book cloth from the hinges and/or labels from Gaylord.
Write on the back, slap on an address and a stamp and mail to your favorite bookbinding enthusiast.
$2 each |

Claire (Variable Numbered Edition) Metallic foil on Rives BFK paper, mounted to 3/4 inch deep gessobord.
These are a bit difficult to photograph - the foil reads differently depending on the angle from which they are viewed, shifting from shiny and enigmatic to rough and photographic. Number 6 is the only one with gold foil, the others have red and a coppery brown (which tends to read as black online).

Vintage atlas pages sewn on tapes with each gathering wrapped with a duotone silk screen image to form a complete image on the spine and allow the images to be viewed inside throughout the book. Covered with reclaimed leather that’s been scrunched to form a rustic and satisfying feel. Use it as a journal and write over the maps or just display it as is. |
