The objective for this project was simply to create a series of at least three books that related to each other. I chose to do one book about my immediate family, one about my father's side of the family, and one about my mother's side. Needless to say, the research was very time consuming but I eventually traced both sides all the way back to the 1700's. I definitely have to say it's been one of the most rewarding projects I've done in awhile.
The whole package.
With the sleeve off.
I created these family shields for a previous project, which is where the idea for these books came from.
The family tree spread from my mother's side.
All lacquer transferred with a press. This is a spread from the book about my mother's side of the family.
Another lacquer transferred spread of my immedaite family.
