I am teaching bookbinding and the history of the illuminated manuscript for my school’s “Special Projects” week in February and this is the beginnings of my first mock-up.  The pages are 100% cotton resume paper printed with my favorite hexagon/flower of life grid on one side.  The Coptic binding is done with three colors of 100% cotton colorfast thread.  The hand and spine are copyright-free old timey anatomical illustrations, and the veins of the hand are hand-colored with gouache.
