La Cappella del Cielo was pulled at Magnolia Editions in Oakland, CA on a flatbed transfer press. Each of the 9 runs was drawn separately by Donald Farnsworth. The prints were pulled individually, one color run at a time. Gold and silver leaf was applied to the wet ink of the red run. After a proofing session, where various color changes were tried, the artist selected a right to print which was used as the standard for the edition. The artist continued to make changes and refinements and added more runs to the print during the editioning. The right to print, lacking many of the runs that appear on the edition prints, was destroyed.
The paper for the edition was made at Magnolia paper studio. It is a multi-colored abaca and kozo content paper handmade in the Japanese tradition.
