Here is a commission I took to rebind a first edition of Senlin Ascends<\/em>. The first two books in the Books of Babel series were originally self-published, and those editions are harder to find. I was asked to rebind 2 copies with matching slipcases.<\/p>\n

I kept the original cover to use as a frontis. The art is so perfect that I wanted to preserve it with these editions.<\/p>\n

This is a 3-piece casebind, using Brillianta cloth and a marbled paper from India. The plumes of color on the black base of this marbled paper are striking.<\/p>\n

The edges of the text block were painted black with watercolor, and finished with a coating of renaissance wax. <\/p>\n

The slipcase is made using the same cloth as the spine. The first slipcases that I made I wasn’t happy with how they stood, on their own they looked fine, but next to each other they didn’t line up nicely. So I recut and created new ones. I still have the original uncovered slipcases, I’ll most likely hunt around for a book they fit and cover them to match.<\/p>\n

For endpapers I used a heavy black canson paper, their mi-tientes line. It has a rough texture I like, and provides a balance to the thick cardstock the original cover uses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
