oh look, it's a rebind???

I'm not big on rebinding things, for the most part, bc generally I'd like to make a more sturdy copy from the ground up over recycling a paperback.

however. Ewan McGregor was in town for Tokyo Comic Con, I found out the night before the last day, and managed to scoop a ticket (including for a photoshoot!). This was what I could manage in 3 hrs the night before to drop in the gift box. (Very sadly, you couldn't hand them gifts directly?? Not even in the autograph lines.)

I picked this book on Buddhist philosophy to gift, mostly because when I read it, every now and then I'd be struck by the thought that Qui-Gon Jinn would probably quote Thich Nhat Hanh. A lot. So it was a bit funny.

"How To Walk" is a pretty easily understood short work on being mindful and in the present moment just while moving your body around throughout the day. It's about enjoying the movement and capabilities of your body and the environment you are passing through, rather than focusing on your destination.

The cover above is done with colibri cloth and hand foiling. I drew a little pattern for the footsteps, which wraps around the spine of the book to the back (I didnt get a lot of pics, I was in a rush). It has gold speckled edges and chiyogami print endpapers.
