Eva

A little background: Eva is my grandmother on my mother's side who died when my mother was seventeen. Obviously I never knew her, so for this project I decided to write her a little letter in a book.

I hand-set the type in one of those little stamps (the kind they have at the library) It required tweezers and a lot of patience. The patterns on the pages in between were made by enlarging a drawing like 200% on the copy machine and then layering them on top of each other and transferring them on to tracing paper with citra-solv.
