Description
Just finished this one this afternoon.A small one (again) although not as small as the EarthyMini!
9cm wide x 8.5cm tall x 2.5cm thick.
Springback, raised cords, 3 part closure.
Heavy, hand-stained watercolour paper, 54ish pages, torn and gold edges.
Pigskin leather cover, hand-dyed. Recessed bits in hand-painted sculpey, crystal (green aventurine and Paua shell cabochon), and wood.
EDIT: Thankyou for the DD, I'm so honoured!
Also, there seems to be some confusion here that I've noticed. Not just with this book but also with others. I do not COVER pre-made books. All of my books are bound from scratch, in the Springback style. For those interested in how this process works, you can see the binding of one of my larger books on my website, here: [link]
Love!

No, I MADE this book. From nothing. Cut the paper, dyed the paper, stitched the paper into signatures, bound it on tapes, into boards, layered a spine, trimmed, sanded, sculpted, dyed leather, covered, shaped, gilt, set, refined.

Oh my! This is so beautiful! Its been a personal dream of mine to make a book like that, but i've never figured out how to bind a book and what to use as covers. Did you have a book or instruction webpage or what? How did you learn how to do this? I'm sorry, i must know!
