Saint Columba was born in Ireland of royal descent. He studied for the priesthood under many prominent churchmen, including St. Finnian, eventually becoming abbot. In 563, he sailed to Scotland evangelizing the pagans and establishing monasteries, including the abbey on Iona. Saint Columba is considered one of Irelands 12 Apostles loved by both the Irish and Scots.

In the Middle Ages, reading was not such a popular pastime: usually the only books read were those of a religious nature.
Given the lack of interest in reading, some bookbinders began to bind two books together, in such a way as to "save" volume and weight to the hypothetical readers.
It became quite common to bind two texts together such as the New Testament and the Book of Psalms in England in the first half of the 17th century.
The books were bound so that the leading edge of one was adjacent to the spine of the other.
The back cover was shared by being sandwiched between the two. By placing this book on a shelf, its spine was facing outward while that of the 'twin' was facing the inside of the shelf itself.
This odd binding style is known as dos-à-dos, a French word meaning "back-to-back."
Over time, this style was extended to more books, until we found real chains of seven volumes linked together.
Until the mid-twentieth century this way of binding books survived, then both the technique and the skills of the bookbinders, true artists of yesteryear, were lost.
The sun is out, quickly gotta grab a blanket and do a photoshoot of my latest rebind.
Villains Are Destined to Die Manwha rebind, volume 1 - 3!
I decided to keep the original logo design because I like it a lot. The backside features the Eckhart family crest, which I found on an official merch product in Korea. The quality was bad though so I had to redraw it.
I did not want to design 3 different covers for each volume (especially since the series is still on going and more will be released), so I simply changed the volume number

"It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do."
- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
Renovated collection of Jane Austen's novels.
The original cover showed a photography of wild flowers, which reminded me of Austen's descriptions of the English landscapes, so I tried to keep the same aesthetic with the embroidery art on the new book cloth cover (I'm not an expert at embroidery: I know that it's not perfect but I tried my best!)
I love the bucolic feeling that the finished book gives, I find it to be peaceful and graceful and it makes me want to read all these incredible novels again and again. Do you agree?
Also, do you have a favourite Jane Austen's novel or TV adaptation? I personally loved the 2020 adaptation of Emma directed by the extremely talented @autumndewilde
