Swamp Rats
|
|
|
For the past three years I have been sharing my garden with a passing parade of indigenous swamp rats (rattus lutreolus), and although I have only been able to observe them from inside the house, they have visited daily and given me a delightful opportunity to observe their life cycles and individual personalities. There just HAD to be a book! |

Further details
and photos can be found here
|
 The book is covered with paper made (by me) from the stems of the kangaroo paw plants through which the rats make their 'above ground tunnels' |
 The book contains 22 photos (professionally printed and mounted with acid free tape) to illustrate the accompanying story of the swamp rats live as I have observed them. |
The book is
constructed with three signatures, each wrapped in handmade paper The pages are laser printed on 120gsm paper and dyed with tea to create a patchy earthy look. |
