full disclosure

a little piece of hosta paper

very strong

made on my miniature lee macdonald wove mould

with pigment

i've been rubbing north country soils into my little papers

and shifu,

taking ochres from road cuts

soils from marshes

and this

guesses?

"The fertile fronds of sensitive fern bear spores in the bead-like structures."

after dyeing papers in the contact print dyepot

then drying out

they shed powder.

dyed spores,

a slightly different take

on 

local pigment gathering.
oh--

and here we are
in print
