bookbinding proposal

Description

Full dark blue Harmatan #12 goatskin in a traditional laced-on boards binding, paste paper ends will be created by the binder utilizing a leather joint construction, sewn headbands and tooled spine title. The proposed design captures the early journey of Huck and Jim, both escaping down the Mississippi River. The design will use large areas of onlaid and back paired leather applied before the book is actually bound. The design will be enhanced by painted acrylic, areas of cut colored foils, and inlaid leather lines. Jury Prize for Binding
