A la belle étoile' binding

This title 'A la belle étoile' (or 'Under the stars') was written by Joseph Delteil and Eaux-fortes d'Antral. The decoration of this book has been worked with the natural dyeing of silk, using the sorghum plant. The principle of the Tie & Dye technique has been revisited to explore the colour palette of sorghum through different soakings. The boards are dyed and embroidered with "surfine" silk.
