The Green Death II. Ironically I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve done this design in green ☠️ . . . #McCallCo #bookbinding #bookbinder #blankbook #journal #journaling #bookworm #bookporn #bookbindingporn #grimoire #leatherbound #leatherboundbook #bibliophile #bookofshadows https://www.instagram.com/p/CosHs92L7Ge/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I did a Kickstarter campaign a couple of years ago to fund the production of a hand-illuminated insular Gospel book. I'm planning a new campaign for early next year to do a similar illumination project for Beowulf, featuring the Old English and modern English translation on facing pages. I would love some input for reward tier ideas that people would be interested in receiving as part of the project. Some of the ones I have planned already will be a large illuminated art print, the regular hardcover book once it's finished and published, as well as a high-end hand bound leather version. What are some other Beowulf/Anglo-Saxon relevant rewards you would be interested to see?
