Description
Thought I would share this book that I've made with everyone.Materials I've used :
- Natural Washable Craft Paper Fabric as the cover. Imported from U.S.
- Taiwan Fine Smooth Canvas (black) as the back cover. Very thick and good quality.
- Sea Blue thread to bind the signatures together.
- 16 signatures (48 pages, yellow and white papers), 120gsm.
- Satin green ribbon as a closure for the book. It is attached to the book.
- Silver book corners.
Size of the book 15.5 cm x 22 cm. (Width x Length).
Designed the cover of the book myself and hand bounded with care.
The book cover is drawn using :
- Fabricolor twin pen
- uniPin Fine Line Water and Fade Proof Pigment Ink (0.1)
- Artist Sketching Pen Alcohol-based permanent Ink (Sepia)
I have tested the cover by adding a bit of water on it. The pattern does not smudge and the "fabric" does not soak up like normal craft paper.
SOLD
If interested and you want to know more information on the book, please note me
Pre orders are OPEN.

I am currently making a book and I would like to know where you got the thread. The design of this cover is amazing? And where did you get the silver corners? Do you know a website where I can buy the materials you used for this book?

I've revised the price of the book as I noticed the binding was a little loose compared to the rest of the books that I've made. I'm letting this go for $36 now

you say you DESIGNED the cover yourself, but is it hand inked?

i figured as much when I looked at your gallery. Wonderful skill. kudos both on your steady hand and patience with ornate patterns. very impressive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
anytime. I've had lots of medical issues I've been battling over the past 7 years and before all of it i used to do work this ornate regularly. It's become increasingly difficult now, so its somewhat nostalgic for me to see individuals with skill utilizing it while they have it {especially in a media i understand thoroughly)

Actually for the past 4 months they've nearly stopped and I haven't been on medication for a lil over a year now. Seizures are random like that and can stop at a moments notice for lil to no reason apparently. Thanks for the concern though.
