A full leather binding in handdyed morocco goatskin. Rolled leather headbands. Blind tooling on both covers and some crooked gold tooling on the front cover, because only god is perfect or maybe because I finished this in relative hurry.

I have recently began the project of documenting all my belongings by drawing small ink renderings of them. You might call it somewhat ambitious. I thought I’d draw them all in a book, or maybe a few books, so I chose a leatherbound one that I had made in a summer class taught by Tiina Piisang in 2012 as a fine binding practise. I have now drawn four pages of ink bottles and ink pen nibs, and one page of watercolours and various glues and lacquers.. veterokforbooks.tumblr.com
