silvestris

Book of Poems named Silvestris by Rebecca Field

I was asked to design the cover for a book of poems by Rebecca Field, The poems are from a long standing interest and research project into Hettie pegglars Tump a 5000 year old neolithic burial mound. I went to the site and gathered various ingredients to make an ink. I found a fossil, a copper pipe and lots of moss. I made a ink from lime stone which was a beautiful off white and a buckthorn berry ink.
