Adding to Insult to Injury.....Finished.

My biblionautic chums and friends.
Late yesterday Adding to Insult to Injury was finished.
Images taken with different lighting really show the contrasts in leathers, pattern, form etc. The friezes 'pop' from the boards with the grotesque mask like underlays adding further texture and, indeed, foundation.
Images include binding under two different lighting systems, end papers and doublers along with details of the leather work. Sorry for some of the quality of the images... Because of the very nature of the finished work it is difficult to take good images. I guess it is one of those bindings that need to be experienced!
Now I just have to make the box!
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.
