Description
I recently got into leather crafting after I've waited and stalled this idea for way too long. It has always been a medium I wanted to work and experiment with.One of the ideas that I always wanted to get out of my head was binding books in leather and stamp them with all sorts of pictures and patterns. Leather is a medium so much fun to work with. It's resilient, shapeable and very sturdy.
Books wrapped in leather will last you forever and you will always know to have a one-of-a-kind handmade thing to hold in your hands.
This little journal (A6 in format) is only one of the ideas I have in mind, and I still feel like a beginner when it comes to leathercrafting! There are so many possibilities and a wide range of what could be done with it. I can't wait to lay my hands on the next idea I have, and hopefully it will turn out the way I imagined it: a dragon book!
I practised some more leather covers for books before. You can find them on my Facebook page! ~> www.facebook.com/AlectorFencer
Thank you so much for looking!

Interestingly, it looks like a magical diary or something, As if the eye of the cover art to whoever opens observed.Β

I love leathercrafting. My grandmother was actually the one to teach me. Β It's quite relaxing and a great way to escape. I love the smell of leather, I'm a country girl who doesn't get to be in the saddle as much as I would like anymore, but the smell of the leather is very familiar to me and reminds me of riding. Β This looks fantastic to me. With only a few tools, you can make anything.
