Sun And Blood Stoneby ~Maylar

Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft / Bookbinding & Bookmaking

I tried making a book to resemble those old books from the movies or stories...don't know will everyone get what I mean by this, but hopefully most of you will.

Anyhow, it's 1.5 cm or 0.59 inch high (lately, someone criticized me for not giving size in inches too, so from now on, I will).

It contains 16 blank, Earl Grey tea dyed pages and is covered in leather. Stone is a mix of plastic and PVA (mixing process for this is my own invention

) and the gilding is done in my old way too.

Intentionally, leather looks rough (as used for many ages), but it resulted with incapability to photograph it without a "shine" on main photo. I gave up after some twenty tries and this is the best I could, for now. Hope you can see how it really looks from smaller photos.

All in all, hope you like it
