WTB: leather "dustjacket" for book
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 7:51 am
Greetings,
Need leather (and maybe a little expert stitching help) to make a "dustcover" for a book. If you are willing to fold and stitch the ends as well even better.
I can provide dimensions via PM. I need to make a cover for a very special prayer book for my 9 y/o daughter. I will do the decoration/illumination myself, but I simply have limited time to go search for the perfect piece of leather.
It must look "old" , and it should be both paintable not too absorbent (to avoid it becoming greasy with use)
If you have a lead for nice brass corners for the cover, even better...
(never mind found them here http://www.articusstudiodesign.com/id56.html )
They wanted me to make a fabric one with fabric marker decorations....
Also, can anyone help me locate an illumination of Kid David playing the Harp that I can print in good resolution to glue to the cover?
Any help, advise, offer lead is MOST welcome...
Thanks!!
