This example utilizes full goatskin case bound with a hollow back, laced in cords, and handsewn endbands. Decorative elements include hand-painted top edge and original paste paper endsheets. Inside front and back covers with leather edge-to-edge doublures. Differences will include the use of inlays rather than raised cover decoration under the leather. In addition, full leather edge-to-edge doublures will not be used in the proposed binding.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:29-05:00

]]>https://bridwell.omeka.net/items/show/1959Parchment goatskin with thin, leather onlays, manipulated and mapped over subtle, paper-clay modeling of the book boards to heighten the effects of land erosion. Hand embroidered silk headbands, edge decoration with pastel pigment blended with veining from the teal green to dusty gold, marbled paper by Catherine Levine, gold leather doublures. This is a story of an Oklahoma farming family in the Great Depression struggling to survive the environmental disaster of the 1930s Dust Bowl. Billowing dust storms invade the dry landscape. It is a time of great political upheaval, as corporations take over foreclosures and farmers abandon their known way of life. The design reflects the eroding fertility of the land transitioning to dust driving a desperate migratory force into the unknown. It is the clash of fear, anger, greed, power, and hope.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:29-05:00

]]>https://bridwell.omeka.net/items/show/1963Binding based on the non-adhesive “clip-on cover” structure developed by United Kingdom binder Kathy Abbott. Text block disbound, outer folios guarded, sewn long stitch with blue linen thread into calf vellum wrapper, covered in limp calf vellum case, tabbed corners. Hand titling in 22k moon gold, blue acrylic line applied through stencil. Endpapers of handmade Ruscombe Mill pale wove, single folio with hooked flexi endleaf. Graphite head. The pale vellum references the white whale, and the blue line a turbulent sea. The stark contrast between these elements mirrors the horror steadily building in anticipation of the Pequod’s encounter with Moby Dick. Use of blue inside and out also references the color of the initial caps in the Arion Press and Deluxe California editions of this text.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:29-05:00

]]>https://bridwell.omeka.net/items/show/1965The poetry, illustrations, and the countryside Wendell Berry describes inspired this design. Soft, rolling hills are shown using the bas-relief areas and the crops are represented by the rough green leather onlays and gold tooled lines with a dusting of surface gilding. Headbands have been made with gold tooled leather and the leather jointed endpapers are a lamination of eastern papers tooled in gold. Structurally the binding is laced-on full natural goatskin with joints and hollow tube sized more generously than traditionally to allow for a more flowing movement in the binding.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:29-05:00
