Description
This is a commission of a journal from the Disney movie, Atlantis-The Lost Empire.This one took some time to make because there was not much to go off of. A lot of research went into this one to get it to come out as accurate and durable as possible.
It contains over 300 pages of natural parchment and is bound in Italian leather. It is framed in metal and embellished with a gold centerpiece emblem.
The spine is supported by a finial rod that the purchaser had machined to match the original from the movie.
The journal is finished off with a workable clasp, aged and buffed out to a low sheen.

This was one of the most challenging books I have ever created. First because it was a commission. Second because the spine comes to a point and was a major concern.
When this journal was originally drawn up for the movie, it was obvious that the creator knew nothing about the construction of a book.
Lets just say that they left me a challenge to overcome. I had to recreate the inside text block multiple times to figure out how to make it durable and attractive.
It was not an easy task.
Thanks for the comment.

I've never seen an angle like that on a spine before--must've taken some finessing to get the shape right. How does it behave when it's opened?

Believe it or not, it opens up all the way and the pages fan out nicely.
I had to do a lot of experimenting to get this one to come out.
Cheers
