Dog’s Breakfast
A quirky and delectable collection of 23 letterpress-printed recipe cards featuring the recipes of Newfoundland-based printers, artists,
writers, musicians and foodies.
The project, a collaborative fundraiser from the Book Arts Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, comes in a letterpress-printed envelope designed and printed by John Haney and Duncan Major. The work was done at walking bird press, Running the Goat Press and Daubers Press. Contributors offered recipes and helped with some aspect of the printing of the cards.
Contributors include: Sandy Morris, Bernice & Jennifer Morgan, Mack Furlong, Marlene McCallum, Janet Kelly, Kevin Major, Rachel Dragland, Shirley Greer, Anita Singh, Tara Bryan & Marnie Parsons, Monica Kidd, Jack Botsford, Erin McArthur, David Morrish, Steve Watson & Karl Wells, Ed Riche, Angela Antle & Mark Quinn, Mary Dalton, Robin McGrath, Ramona Dearing, Duncan Major, Sandy Newton & Caroline Clarke, and John Haney.
Many thanks to all the contributors who played along. Thanks especially to Tara Bryan, Duncan Major, Robin McGrath and Lucinda Gathercole for their tireless efforts for this project.
The cards are on various papers, and measure 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches.
Only 146 collections were printed, of which approximately 120 are available for sale.
Price $50. All funds go to the BAANAL, to help fund workshops, talks and presentations that promote the making and appreciation of books and the book arts.
