Spiral out, keep going

A post-WW2, mermaid!Cody AU, and featuring art by @shukruut on the dust jacket and for each of the title pages which is absolutely stunning!

For this bind I finally got to pull out *two* of my marbled papers from izumin marbling, the stone wave pattern on the front and the bright marble on the inside for the endpapers, paired with duo oatmeal bookcloth. I pulled colors from the endpapers into the french double core endbands as well. Edges painted in "cloisonne orange."

for each of the three parts in this bind, I used a @shukruut artwork, and pulled a color from that art to set the chapter headers and one of the sea-creature drawings in as an accent on the summary page.

(I also found a very silly little fish as a paragraph break ^)

the combo of script font (Trafton Script) and art-deco-ish font (Onyx) is directly inspired by a 1940s yearbook on the site Fonts In Use. The script + serif font combo was very popular for this time period. Nautical paragraph breaks, chapter headers, and summary page illustrations are from Heritage Library's free public domain collection.

Have a peek! Here's a look at this action-packed piece created by Dani!
