Description

This collage is mounted on Fabriano paper, crafted in Italy at the Fabriano mill. When researching the postage stamp, I had problems because I thought the animal was a cat! Doesn’t it look like a cat to you? But no, it is referred to as a dog and also as a toy dog. Included here are pages from antique Japanese books — pages I stained using walnut ink. The colorful vertical stripe of paper is from a handmade gel print I made with acrylic paints. Lower right is my fingerprint in gold paint, suitably smudged to prevent criminal identification!
