This particular minibook has been a shelf book since its creation. I has a larger than actual size presence because of the large ribbon width attached to the book rings. In time, the ribbon will fade, collect dust, and become a detraction instead of an enhancement, but for now, the ribbon makes the book. (As I said earlier, it was actually the ribbon that inspired the book.)
The paint used to complete the block prints is water color paint. I very seldom use water color paints and don't have a high quality product. If I print additional block prints in any kind of quantity, I will either need to try acrylic paints or try acrylic inks OR explore other types of water color paints. I am likely to go with either of the acrylic options.
Of course, I try to add a signature and/or logo to everything I create. Above is the logo that I included at the back of this minibook. Although I usually print this logo in metallic silver, I decided to match the color of the green stencil print.
Check out the glimpse of olive ribbon on the left hand side - it really does make the book!!
