Othello notebooks

For an upcoming Shakespeare conference in Venice, Italy this week, I made little notebooks for each of the speakers. I tore out pages from one of my Yale Shakespeare books and pasted them on tiny notebooks covered in marbled paper. Skeletal leaves provide some natural history. On the back, I tore out quotations from an old copy of Freud’s Moses and Monotheism.
Each book is a little different, but together, the two dozen volumes represent the breadth of Shakespeare’s play. Next time I’ll go for handkerchiefs.
It’s awesome, I’m just not comfortable tearing pages from a book myself. I’d rather make special paper copies of the book pages to “play” with.
What an awesome idea!
I heart Shakey.
