Frankenstein

frank07

In 2003, I bound an edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, using a text from Project Gutenberg.  So far, this is my favorite binding project, and it turned out better than I could have hoped.  The cover is leather harvested from an old, torn jacket.  I cut the leather into different shaped chunks, then stitched them together with artificial sinew, making a point of keeping the stitching very visible.
