Here is my binding of the Metamophoses of Ovid. The cover (front and back) is a steel plate engraving called The Fall of Phaeton, anonymously created in the 17th century, Netherlands. The image was printed on art canvas with an inkjet printer. The spine title was hand foiled in red with a memory keepers foil quill. This is a three-piece bradel case binding.

Worked on this all day on Friday (12/27/24). Trimmed the edges, sacrificed some blood to the bookbinding gods, sewed endbands, and printed the end papers and cover.
