Paper from Flags and Southern Fictions

The table next to mine at Codex was Horse and Buggy Press, from Durham, North Carolina. Dave designed and printed a lovely book of sonnets by Kathryn Stripling Byer called “Southern Fictions.” The sonnets reflect on the racial conflict in Southwest Georgia when Byer was growing up during the Jim Crow era. Dave hand-made some of the paper, including the cover and front piece (below) out of confederate flags. He has a nice blog post about making the paper and printing the book here.
