Jacques Goldstyn's cover for this La Pastèque release is immediately disarming — a small, dark-haired child sits cross-legged before an enormous wooden loom, scissors and a pattern guide nearby, while a basket overflowing with colorful yarn spools sits at their side and a richly patterned carpet already takes shape on the frame. The watercolor linework is loose and warm, balancing the intricate geometric reds, golds, and blues of the weaving against the quiet intimacy of one small figure at work. It's a gentle, human-scaled image that promises a story rooted in craft, patience, and the quiet dignity of making something beautiful by hand.
