Blue Leather Bound Book with Moon, Stars, and Feather Motif

Based on a pattern from Dark Horse Workshop, this leather bound book is made from 7 oz. vegetable-tanned leather, dyed in a dark blue mottled finish, with original hand carved and hand painted artwork featuring a crescent moon, feathers, and stars. It has 25 pages in 5 signatures of vintage style paper, hand bound with white waxed thread.  There are 4 white stone domed rivets set into the cover as a hidden detail.

This book has button studs with two tabs to hold it closed, and removeable belt straps with button studs, to wear it on a belt as a costume piece.  The belt straps are slightly different lengths so that the book sits at an angle on the hip.  The D-rings, button studs, and double capped rivets are all brass plated.

The cover and straps of this piece have been lightly dyed on the inside, and sealed inside and outside with a medium coat of Eco-Flo Satin Sheen. It's water repellent, but long term or significant exposure to moisture will likely make the dye bleed or result in spotting.

Leather is a natural product and each piece will have some variation in thickness, how it accepts dyes or stains, and other natural characteristics. For all finishes we usually leave marks or natural patterns for aesthetics, but we try to call out anything unusual or that may affect its use.  With the exception of buckle straps which may be laser cut, all pieces are hand cut and tooled, expect some small tool marks and scratches as a normal part of the process.
