Robbin Ami Silverberg is an artist & the founding director of Dobbin Mill, a hand-papermaking studio, and Dobbin Books, a collaborative artist book studio, which publishes small editions by Silverberg, in collaboration with other artists. Her artwork is divided between solo & collaborative artist books and large paper installations. The work conceptually focuses on word cognition and interlinearity, with an emphasis on process and paper as activated substrate.

Her artwork is found in numerous collections, such as the Smithsonian Museum of African Art, Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest, and Yale University’s Art of the Book Collection. She is Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute and lives & works in Brooklyn, NY.

Your wax paper problem should be a lesson. NEVER use wax paper. Go to your local grocery store and buy a roll of freezer paper. It has a silicon coating on one side and is fabulous for what you were trying to accomplish.
(Just a word of advice from an OLD bookbinder)
Hope you are well.
