Face the Sun

For once I fell in love with the cover paper first, when I saw this paper marbled in vivid yellows and reds with a touch of gold.  So I found a quote about the sun and used matching pastel papers for the pages and gouache for the lettering.

I have been experimenting with the piano hinge binding designed by Heidi Kyle and I admire this ingenious way of binding.  So I took the opportunity to play and used a piano hinge with a fine brass rod to match the theme of these books.

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you – Maori proverb.
