"The story Molly Poppet is original...I used a black and white copier to reproduce two dolls as a graphic images. each gesture, position and facial expression was coordinated with the story. I hand painted the images with gouache colors and Luma inks. The hand colored doll images were reproduced a second time as color laser copies on a Canon 200 copier. They were then arranged against computer generated grid designs. Finally, the dolls and their backgrounds were pasted up and reproduced as final copies for the book-some in black and white; some in color. The book was reproduced on archival paper. The cover is Lenox printmaking paper. The text was generated on a Macintosh IIci in "New Century Schoolbook"--12 points for Molly Poppet's voice, and 9 points for the commentary voices."--Colophon.
