Hi All!

Latest off the bench. All the black is veg-tan dyed with vinegroon. That was a fun to use for the first time.

That is pretty cool! I don't have that kind of imagination.

Crystal,

I am in awe. Your craftsmanship is superb. Attention to repetitive detail is an art and you have the "Touch".

Beautiful job Crystal!!! I'm laughing because I didn't realize that was you on facebook. Also thanks for the advice on the vinegeroon!

Crystal,

What did you use as a stiffner inside the covers?

Thanks,

Thanks so much for all the nice comments, everyone! There are things I want to change for next time around, but I wasn't sure how everything was going to work.

Rhide- I started with a design I found in a Dover book called "Florid Victorian Ornament". It wouldn't fit the space, so I took one section out of it and tried to use that and that didn't work either. So a long story short and about 2 erasers later I came up with the repeating pattern with the only real remaining part from the origianl being the leafy-looking centers.

Bobby- I liked being one of the boys for a while! ;) I have to tell you, you almost made me not ship. I was packing up and stopped in here for a visit and saw yours. It was hard taping up my box after that.

David- I had a clear plastic tablet holder that I took the clip off of to use for the tablet holder in the cover. The plastic front and back to that I cut the spine off. And all of the afore mentioned pieces are still on the table that wasn't where I was cementing the cover fronts and liners.... it never pays to glue at 2 am.

Thanks again, everyone!

I think that looks fantastic. The design is very unique and the finish looks great!
