Colored Swallow Book

I made this cover by collaging different colored papers,t hen layering over it with painted paper towel, all adhered together with acrylic medium.  After I had a bright background, I printed on it with block printing ink and my favorite swallow linoblock that I’ve been using for just about everything.  It doesn’t have end papers, because when I was gluing the cover down, the first and last sheets of the book got stuck to the cover.Â
