After a beautiful summer in Detroit, I moved to Chicago for graduate school. I was working on Paris of the West in my gorgeous studio on Grand River, and had to relocate everything to a cubicle space on Wabash in the South Loop-- everything got a little jumbled.
Now that I'm in the Center for Book and Paper Arts in Chicago full time, I can finally get back to Paris of the West!
After a bit of trial and error with the cover:
I have finally decided to print the zine with combination hand-set letterpress and a hand-cut stencil technique on Paper Source enclosures.
Here's a process-preview of the front:
The front cover will be the stencil of the Great Lakes, with letterpress impression of a star to indicate Detroit. Other text will be printed on the inside cover.
More updates will be posted in the coming days as the project becomes complete!!
