From the ground onto book cover. Inspired by anthotype technique.

One of the projects at school was to design covers for a series of five books. I could choose between in-real published books or imaginary ones. Or mixed.

At that time I was impressed by a book "Medicinal herbs and magic plants between the front door and the garden gate" ("Heilkräuter und Zauberpflanzen zwischen Haustür und Gartentor", 2000) by Wolf-Dieter Storl. In that book author was presenting a global basic herbs found anywhere and their usage in fields like herbal medicine, cooking, gardening, rituals.

I listed five that were growing everywhere around my area, took a walk to pick up few samples of each and scanned them fresh. Or used already dried ones if I had some. Then post-processed.

Each cover has two white fields with different leaf stamples identifying herb described in that particular part: I: Broadleaf, II: Mugwort, III: Dandelion, IV: Yarrow, V: Nettle.
