]]>https://bridwell.omeka.net/items/show/2284Dark brown calfskin with transparent vellum incorporated in the design, vellum with ink drawing of a robot, in darker metallic colors, and a god, with warm colors. Marbled flyleaves to match brown calfskin of covers. Design depicts a futuristic looking God and a broken down robot in the Creation scene. The Imitation of Christ discusses the finding the soul, offering solace on one's spiritual life, and the Eucharist. The intention is to show God eagerly wanting the robot (man) to not be so afraid and to turn and face him. Humans live in a routine life, not thinking about their actions, and so this God is trying to break man from this routine.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:34-05:00

]]>https://bridwell.omeka.net/items/show/2331The binding structure is one that I have been playing around with for more than twenty years. It is simple, basic, and I love that the text can be removed at any time with no damage to the paper or binding. This is the most recent variation of this structure in that there is a full leather spine and the sewing is not visible. It provides the book with the flat opening of the hollow tube and the solid structure of a tight back. The binding is composed of various goatskins with an alum tawed goatskin inner spine. The onlays are of various leathers applied to the surface and then back pared before the inner lining is attached. Headbands are leather and the rivets are gold tooled. Pamela Smith marbled endpapers are utilized and Twinrocker handmade paper leaves have been sewn in with the text at the very end of the volume.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:35-05:00
