Prayer book covers

Recommended Posts

Some months ago I was asked to rescue two prayerbooks by a very dear old nun, Sr Rosalind. I decided to try to copy the images on the front covers on to the leather by treating them as pencil drawings and doing them in burning.

I never took photos of the finished covers - they were also glued on like the Bible cover I showed so that they would keep the books together. The old paperback covers had disintegrated.

These look really good. I would really like to hear how you burned the images in the leather.

I did it just like doing a pencil drawing. First did the outlines and then bring in the shading.
