Other methods yo...Nice idea and a lot of effort :-)<br />Other methods you could try:<br />You could either use very thin, stretchy, predyed leather (like goat or deer) and accentuate it with antik finish and/or pyrography<br />tutorial:<br />http://www.lederkram.de/category.php?cat_ID=890<br />http://lederkram-de.deviantart.com/art/Leatherbound-Book-Lederbuch-528546497<br />or<br />http://lederkram-de.deviantart.com/art/Ledergebundene-Buecher-Leatherbound-books-528547994<br />Or you could use vegetable tanned leather, mould it to your liking (moulds very easy with warm water) and then dye it with fiebings oil dye + fiebings antik finish<br />Same technique was used on this piece, even though it is no book ;-)<br />http://lederkram-de.deviantart.com/art/Kroetenhaut-186877397<br /><br />- Sebastian<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040397900604412102.post-34676978112191932012014-09-23T14:40:09.940-04:002014-09-23T14:40:09.940-04:00I've had the problem of trying to get the leat...I've had the problem of trying to get the leather to fit into the raised designs on my books before. I've found the best way is to treat the book cover like a positive and negative mold. When you cut the pieces out of the one, glue them onto a new board so that you have the two halves of a mold and put the leather between the two. It helps the leather fit into all of the nooks and crannies SO much better. <br /><br />Hope it helps. <br /><br />-TomLonely Road Journalshttp://lonelyroadjournals.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040397900604412102.post-43431632431642499102014-09-09T18:50:25.682-04:002014-09-09T18:50:25.682-04:00Just stumbled across this.
