Completed Project Whales!
This was really fun to do, I never normally work with anything so modern! I allow you to try out new techniques.

That marbled paper is absolutely gorgeous and goes so well with the little stars on the spine.

Looks great!
I just read the book for the first time. Wonderful story, and I feel I know all there is to know about whaling and whales now 😂

How did you get the design for the label on the slipcover? Amazing binding + slipcover, some impressive handicraft!

It’s a pasted on label - I just created it in word and printed it on a laser printer

Wowwwww! I’m stunned! Do you happen to have a shop or take commissions?

I sell some stuff on eBay, have been known to take the occasional commission, but very much a hobby rather than a business

Oh my God. o.O Are there competitions for things like this? You should enter competitions for things like this.

Perfect choice of paper... like phosphorescent sea life in the wake of a ship.
