fully bound in faux leather
This cover cutout idea was inspired by the works of bythecrow, whom I consider to my idol and mentor when it comes to medieval bookbinding techniques. I bought a beautifully bound journal from her, the Book of Harvest, last year and it is one of my most treasured possessions. Her work is amazing, and I can only hope to reach the level she’s in.
This copy is a test bind, since I had to figure out measurements for several elements that I altered, so this was different from just simply doing a quarter bind or even leather. It’s not perfect, as expected, but I have better numbers to work with on my next attempt.
