| Gina Page: "What do I love about making paper? The mystery, the alchemy, the long and meandering process of selecting various fibers which relate to the text and images that the paper will eventually support, wondering how the fibers will interact with each other, thinking about the colors that the final sheets of paper may be, delighting in the soft muted tones that come from working with the natural fibers and dyes I've chosen, such as fine yellow silk threads, cedar and cherry barks, wisteria fiber and dyes from various found lichens of the BC Coast." |

Canada: Seawrack Press, 2004. Edition of 5.
3.25 x 6" closed; extends to 27"; 8 pages. Accordion fold. Handmade paper. Images tipped in. Text stenciled.
Gina Page: "A blue accordion-fold book starting with 'in the morning a woodpecker drumming.' This is a subsequent version of the book Gifts, also published in 2004. I should mention that the poem is mine and is an abridged version of a longer poem I wrote of the same name in 1991. This book is also accordion fold.
"The paper is handmade by me and is composed of a olive and gold tinted paper combined with abaca fibers. The text has been stenciled (one letter at a time) directly onto the paper. The images are done with pastel and conté, and are not done directly onto the paper but are supported on a vellum finish paper the same colour as the handmade and affixed to the handmade paper."
