The Babushka and the Headscarf is a picture book about co-creative design. It is a personal portfolio of photographs documenting a series of print samples and silk scarves. The designs are based on the storytelling and embroidery practices of the Babushkas, a small number of ageing women who still live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone following the world’s worst nuclear accident in 1986. 
 
This wonderfully straightforward book visually demonstrates how small print inconsistencies (purposeful or not), can give a uniqueness of character emerging from slight variations in colour and/or screen placement, layering techniques and colour-removal processes.
 
This size of book was only affordable/at this price when I had it printed on BLACK FRIDAY so I'm sorry it has sold out. It is still available in handy proportions :)
