As one obsession moves out, another one moves in to take its place. My last big art kick was digital art, and resulted in these pictures, along with a few others that were more...mediocre. But before too long I got bored with the time-consuming process and ran out of good ideas of things to make in Blender. That, and I got busy with work.
I started getting interest in how books are made, and started making them by hand. My first experiment was not very good, but I learned a lot, and by time my second one was finished I had a good idea of how to do it right. On my third try I used leather, a more unwieldy but much more awesome material than the cloth I'd been using. None of the pieces I had were quite big enough for the job, so I actually cut three pieces for the two covers and the spine (pictured below).
I still made a few mistakes, which I corrected for my most recent model (the top two pictures).
