Well, this was quite the surprise!

Our collections assistant is going through a rather large donation that has fun little surprises like this. A jewelry box with a very small leather bound book! The book contains the United States' pledge of allegiance.

Went to my uncle's house in Chennai (formerly Madras, under British colonial rule) and found his father-in-law's collection of books. There are some lovely leather-bound Russian literary texts in there as well.

Unfortunately, I couldn't stick around long enough to take a proper look, so I took a few pics and am gonna let y'all rifle through them instead.

Not new, to judge by its scuffed corners, but finely bound in leather.

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)

But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!

Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.

After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.

The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.

Fragrance of the past

lingering among old books

with leather bound souls

waiting to speak ancient tales

with a forgotten vigor.

I finished my first leather-bound book! My brother envisioned having a copy of Frankenstein that is stitched leather so that it looks like skin, so for his Christmas present this year I tried to make it happen.

This was my first time working with real leather, and I am really proud of how it came out.

I also created my own typeset for Frankenstien, the text courtesy of Project Gutenberg. I used the illustrations by Bernie Wrightson throughout the text.

I wanted to put gilded edges on it but have only ever gilded rebinds so the edges were already trimmed. Since I don't have a guillotine capable of trimming whole text blocks I had to figure out a different way. I used a wood planer to trim, and it worked pretty well! I didn't go quite deep enough on the long edge and messed up trimming the top of one of my signatures so the top is a little uneven too, but overall it worked really well!

All the leather I used for the cover came from a scrap bag I bought from a leather vendor at the last ren faire I went to. There were a lot of really nice colors and pieces. I pieced them together and made templates to ensure I cut out the right pieces. I researched a couple different stitches and decided that the back side of a cross stitch looked the best and resembled what looked the most like Frankensteinesc sutures.

Once everything was stitched together I glued it onto the boards. The corners were probably the hardest part since leather corners are done differently than book cloth. They aren't perfect but I think I did pretty good for a first try!

I finished up the text block once all the colors of the cover were decided on. I wanted to make sure the colors I chose for the headband and the ribbon matched. I tried fraying my linen tapes so that they are less visible under the end pages. This is the first bind I've done this on and I'm definitely gonna keep doing it.

I cased it in, and am eally happy with the final results! I should have made the spine a little wider to compensate for how thick the leather is but I'm hoping that with time the leather will loosen up a bit so there is less tension on the hinges.
