a NatGeo inspired bind
(and my first leather binding since Greece!)
had so much fun with this NatGeo mock up for a dust jacket (also first one I've designed!). peep underneath it for the LEATHER!
TWO pics of the endband this time to show off that headcap (it's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how well I was able to pull the leather over the endband). plus a corner detail! bc I am satisfied with my paring job for the leather & the smoothness of my corner here.
natgeo inspiration continued into the inside spreads with tons of gorgeous Thomas Moran Yellowstone lithographs (11 total, but here are 3)!
& now we have reached the photo limit :(
