Finished!

Done at last! I'm finally finished the entire book, done, sewed and everything. It looks fantastic, so happy with it. It was a little nerve-wracking the past couple of days with the gluing and then the hole-poking, and now the sewing, but I think it turned out really well. I like that it has the balance of a children's picture book in feel but is definitely creepy enough to be for adults. the mood of the book comes across nicely in the paper stock and especially in the end papers (love them) and the leather is perfect for the covers. I was really pleased that the hand-lettering worked out for the cover as well (also nerve-wracking) and it completes the look and feel of the book. So, without further ado here are the photos of the finished product.











So there it is. Really happy with how it turned out. Now I just have to be super careful with it and find something to put it in for hand-in. Hope you enjoyed the journey, I know I did and I learned a lot while doing this book and it was probably the most fun I've had doing a project. Cheers!
