Sawing, sawing… #wip #crafts #handmade #metal
I’m making my first metal fastenings and corners for a Gothic binding I’m making right now! #crafts #wip #handmade #metal
Single-quire Coptic codices
These are copies of 3 different types of the Nag Hammadi codices that were found in Egypt. The originals are some of the oldest books that have been found, dating from the 3rd and 4th century AD, and they contained religious texts.
When I made these copies I did not take into consideration the original colors of the leather or the fact that the textblocks were originally made of papyrus. Anyway, they were fun to make! I should have chosen a softer leather though. Trial and error ;)
More photos of them are on the way!
Ibland är det så man vill hångla upp sig själv för att man är så bra, haha ^^ Speciellt när det tidigare gått kasst. #bookbinding #handmade #book #headband #diy #crafts #carolingian
A taste of the finished Byzantine codex. I seriously will photograph all my finished books within a week now. For real this time ^^ I regret how little I’ve been updating these last months but my mind has been elsewhere. #bookbinding #handmade #book #crafts #diy #historic #byzantine #codex
Finding that something has been ruined during the drying hours really pisses me off :( Especially when I am so far behind. Give me a break already! #wip #bookbinding #crafts #diy #handmade #headband #historic #allagreca

Doing some blindtooling on the Byzantine Codex. Unfortunately I’m not so pleased with how this book is turning out. I’m going to make a new one when I have time. #crafts #book #bookbinding #byzantine #handmade #historic #headband #blindtooling #diy (på/i Leksands Folkhögskola)
