WTB: leather "dustjacket" for book

Post by Glaukos the Athenian »

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.... :evil:


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!!

Depending on the size of the book I have some brick red chrome-tan that I'll happily stitch into a cover for you, $10 + shipping. pp should be about $10-15 I reckon.
