Book Photos Tooth and Nail

Finally had some sunshine over the weekend. I've been trying to take some decent pictures of the clamshell book box, the hardcover and the dustcover for days now but it's been too grey and far too dull.

   

These were taken on a patch of wasteland opposite my lovely house. This is the clamshell presentation box version 2 only the second book box I've ever made, the first worked but was not quite as refined as I would have liked.

As you can see I've used the image from the title pages to line the inside of trays. I had an exhausting journey to Ratchford's in Stockport to get the supplies. I was able to view the book cloth and took some of my work to get a good match between the colour of the cloth and my designs.

Above is the hard back cover, the ornamentation is likely to change but this is very close to what I intend, below is the full hardcover and box.

Above is the box and book with the dustcover. The dustcover is likely to change quite a bit but I'm quite happy with it for the moment, I'll worry more about the cover when the rest of the book has been completed. Finally, below is a close up of the spine.
