Book Making- Suminagashi paper covers and color field canvas covers

Suminagashi or "floating ink" is the process of marbling plain paper with water and ink to transform it into something vibrant and colorful. It originated in Japan as early as the 12th century. Color field canvases are created by pouring thinned out acrylic paints onto canvas. Both methods result in unique colorful images that we will use as covers to journals and sketch books.
