Scintillate, Scintillate

Bozeman, MT, 2019. Artist's book, one of 12 copies, all on Arches Cover black text paper, each copy hand-lettered by Beth Lee and signed, numbered and dated by her on the inside hinge of book. Page size: 7.25 x 4 inches; 12pp. 6 of which are hand-lettered. Bound by the artist, Beth Lee, black cloth over binder's board, Black Ink metallic marbled papers from the 1990's endpapers with spacer bard covered in matching metallic paper over book board (added to square up the thickness of the book). Ms. Lee has chosen the perfect format - Hedi Kyle's panorama book as fond in her THE ART OF THE FOLD - for this children's nursery rhyme, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and its accompanying sesquipedalian version, SCINTILLATE, SCINTILLATE. The texts of SCINTILLATE, SCINTILLATE and TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR are lettered in in white (sesquipedalian text) and gold metallic (children's poem). The flag format opens to display both texts when standing upright but still can be turned page by page in book format. Witty and charming - this book begs to be picked up and read as well as displayed! (Inventory #: 11446)
