Drawing a template...
...for the eight paper signatures...
...in this rather thick book!
I used the natural edge of the tanned leather hide...
...to fashion an asymmetrical front flap.
The book back with strap.
Since I employed a marbled, burgundy buckle for the closure...
...I chose black leather for the strap...
...and golden waxed linen thread for the stitching...
..(to provide a bit of contrast).
Next time: the final book in the series...
...in a rather vibrant color! :)

That's turned out beautifully, and the golden-yellow of the thread picks up some of the variations in the buckle!
Rachel--I hadn't even noticed! Thanks for always being such a careful and generous reader. X
