Adding to Insult

 My biblionautic chums and friends.
Adding Insult.

Work progresses... as in Work In Progress (WIP). Various different coloured strips of leather are hand pared, hand dyed and applied to the binding. Each worked over the grotesque clown-low relief forms. The undulations, variations in grain and differing tonal quality lend an air of disquiet and tension. The overlapping of the applied strips of leather are echoed in the print technique used for the end papers and doublers.

Images of the texture, initial infill to the doubler/doublure, leather joint and front end paper.

Please note.... there are other studios/binderies doing stuff, spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind of sorts.
