Proposal

Fall blue-green oasis goatskin, brown and rust onlays, Italian Restauro endpapers. Onlays in blind and gold tooled to represent permanence (blind) and transience (gold). Reflections on what will be gold wavy lines. Colors to be used symbolically: blue representing the calm of water and sky, brown implying the looming stress of change, and rust suggesting man-made disruptions. The rust sunset reiterates the notion of endings.

Example

William Shakespeare. The Tempest. Canton, New York: Caliban Press, 2001.

Purple oasis goatskin, red onlay cut-out “Ariel” figure taken from illustration in the book, green onlay gold-tooled “barometer” indicating stormy weather, recessed only corners with gold-tooled suns.
