"These Japanese Uwa papers have been tested, torn, boiled, dyed, hung out to dry, sorted, torn again, letterpressed, stabbed, and sewn by Catherine Alice. Variations took great effort to achieve. Please do not display in bright light. The typeface is Adonis and printing was completed as a guest at Springtide Press."--Colophon. "The paper for each page in this book was dyed from various herbs and foods found in my kitchen: Turmeric, Black Tea, Red Onion Skins, Beets, & Saffron. The Japanese stab binding for Plant Dyes from the Kitchen is a flowery design I created to compliment the plant theme of the book."--From mail from artist to cataloger, 12/23/11
