Photo 1:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0Here’s the cover after I put it under the press, wrapped in waxed paper, for a few hours. The vertical lines are part of the paper and are thin pieces of grass or reed, incorporated as the paper was made. I thought it provided a nice contrast to the crazy organic shapes of the lichen.<\/p>\n

Photo 2:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0First I applied glue to the back of the lichen, and then carefully set it down where I wanted. I used tweezers and additional glue on a small brush to adhered lichen fronds that weren’t stuck down properly, or to reposition the bronze tissue paper which was easily wrinkled and folded because it was so thin.<\/p>\n

Photo 3:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0Slightly out of order photo – \u00c2\u00a0here are the lichens the way I laid them out before I glued them – I played around with a few different arrangements until I settled on the one I liked best. You can also spot Meowstro here keeping a close eye on things.<\/p>\n
