Botanica by Natalie Stopka

This artist book holds a collection of 12 eco prints, made on one late summer day in the Catskill Mountains. Each image is made only from the dye inherent to the plant. Gathered from the garden and foraged from the fields, these plant prints are the portrait of a place and time. Because some of the colorants in each image are not lightfast, they will gradually fade over time, leaving only the permanent dyes. The artist book is bound in naturally dyed and printed silk joined with a herringbone stitch.

Handmade Little Books (Collection of Four) by Natalie Stopka

Each of these four blank books is hand bound with a linen cover and hand stitched silk headbands. Protectively case bound with a rounded spine, they are the perfect size to carry on your travels in a pocket or purse as a journal or sketchbook.

Each part of these books has been naturally dyed with responsibly sourced or foraged plant materials. The pages are made from whole sheets with no paper waste and show the color variation that occurs naturally in the dye bath. This makes a beautiful surface for writing or drawing into.

I worked on this sketchbook off and on for 5 months, and realized I didn’t really like anything in it. -so, I ripped the inner pages out, and replaced them with found paper, then drew all over the book for 14 hours. This is how it turned out. (It reminds me of my “pen-pal” days.)
