Dune - Vanishing painting of Arrakis and the Sandworm on the book edges
'The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows - a wall against the wind.'
- Frank Herbert, Dune (Dune, #1)
This is my second fore-edge painting on a copy of the Dune book. Presenting to you the painting of the Sandworm, Fremen and the sands of Arrakis in this magical Vanishing Fore-edge painting.
This is Frank Herberts' Dune 50th anniversary edition paperback that has been hand bound into a hardcover. The cover is hand-painted to mimic the shades and texture of sand.
As each book is hand painted, all paintings are one of a kind. The decorated edges are lightly coated by fixative to protect the paint. The pages can be opened to read. A gentle reminder that it is primarily a work of art. It is best to place the book away from direct sunlight and water. Colours may vary a little from the photographs due to different screens and monitors.
