Triptychs are made of Somerset Cream paper, and prints are done on Domestic Etching. Hand-coloring was done with water colors and the pochoir process. The box was created by BookLab in Austin, Texas. The edition is limited to 150 copies signed by artist, author, and printer"--Colophon (at end of table of contents).
