I these days we were working on this wonderful book, published by Tara Books and we observed that the whole book is crafted by hand, each page is silkscreened on handmade paper in India by a commune of printers from local villages. The book features a tree on every page printed on black paper- the colours almost glow- they are so intense. The drawings are made by three artists of the GONDE TRIBE of Central India- Bharjav Shyam, Durga Bai, and Ram Singh Urveti and each is accompanied by a short paragraph of folklore. Now you can go to this link and have a look to the book if you don't have it: Here you can watch a video about the printed story:

This book is more beautiful than we can ever describe- so just get yourself one- it’s an edition of 1000. We really want to try printing on black paper now!
