The inside of the portfolio wrapper has the following text, explaining the materials used: "Ventana Hide Covers: The cover paper takes advantage of the different shrinkage rates of fibers. To obtain this particular texture and color contrastk, I used high shrinkage Philodendron (P. selloum) fiber over low shrinkage Abaca (MUSA textilis) fiber. The sheets were formed independently and then pressed together. Book Construction: The cotton and linen thread used in the handsewing was dyed to compliment the color of the Philodendron fiber. The type of format is based on the oriental style of handsewn books. I adapted it to fit my design. The Folder: The paper in this folder is Stonehenge Cream. I made the markings in a freeform pattern to symbolize the free flight of the young Eagles. I used acrylic pigments to make the pattern. the paper is Rives Lightweight Buff.", Signed by the artist
