Leather Book Housing
posted in Surface & Pattern Design, Book Arts, Surface & Pattern Design, Printmaking by admin on November 20, 2021This handmade book was created to hold the Light & Shadow print exchange prints.
This was my first time using leather on a book cover/case. I was surprised about how fun it was to work with. I will definitely be using leather again in the very near future!
I created the Sun & Moon logo to reflect the idea of Light and Shadow. I recreated the same logo on the inside cover of the book.
The cover is removable. When the cover is on, the book opens and reads like a regular book, but when the cover is removed (shown in the background below), the book reverts to an accordion-style book and can open up into one long strip.
Following, I will share each of the pages and prints inside of the book. The letterpress work is by Scott Samuelson, who also has a print in the exchange.
