Oak Knoll Fest, part 2

Here are two more objects I saw at the Oak Knoll Fest recently. Because I make my own miniature scroll book, I was drawn to these more elaborate and larger scrollers. The first is by Jessica White (Heroes and Criminals Press) and features her story “The Bad Sparrow.” It’s letterpress printed and hand colored, with a 25 foot scroll in a 14x20x5 box. She has a youtube video of the machine working here. See more here.

The second one is by Thomas Parker Williams (Luminice Press) in Philadelphia. Williams drew directly on the scroll (10ft long). The viewer “travels” though an imaginary landscape, over hill, dale and water. See a video here and many (better) pictures here.
