NIGHT 327 – THE STORY OF HARUN AL RASHID AND ALI IBN MANSUR

FORE-EDGE PAINTING 7

Vanishing fore-edge painting is a traditional English book art. This island really loves books and so do I! This unique art began in 10th century Europe. You can even get books that can be fanned multiple ways (forwards, backwards and diagonally) and there is a different painting on each, so 4 paintings on one book edge! Truly amazing.

There was also a niche tradition of painting ‘gentleman’s pictures’ on the edges of books, ie. paintings of nude ladies, of course… 😉

Revealing this conceit is like magic when you present it to people in real life. I’ll look into doing more for my PhD including hiding several paintings in one fore-edge, to be revealed depending on the way you fan the book! Exciting possibilities for the future ~

NIGHT 326 – THE STORY OF ALI SHAR AND ZUMURRUD

Making the sun with the sun with my son

Sun in sunprints
Cyanotype
Blueprints in the sunshine ☀️ 🌞
Teaching 日 and 太阳 (‘sun’) made by the sun itself
Do cyanotypes with children
They have fun and you have fun too

Read this brilliant book by Fiona Robinson, The Bluest of Blues

(You buy the dangerous chemicals online, mix and apply onto 300gsm cold-pressed watercolour paper separately in dark room; once dried and safe you get kid to do placements of pre-gathered objects on the paper and expose to full strong sunshine; excitedly wait until colour change c.5 mins and then wash off under tap until blue and white prints appear then let dry)
