Chamber of Leather Craft

#Leather #covers for a #bible .

As I described in previous post, I was aiming for a #design that allowed the #book to be laid down flat without bending it's back.

My solution is to tuck these sort of "ears" (that are inevitable while using the zipper for these covers) on the back when covers are closed. When you open the zipper, you'll also let these "ears" loose and they will not affect the position of the book in any way.

This photo shows how the ends of the zipper (nicely embbedded into leather straps) are tucked away on the back side of the bookcovers.
This photo shows how these covers look while they are unzipped. These covers are made exactly by this very same book, the fit is absolutely perfect and the book may be laid down flat. The zipper ends will be just loosely on top and bottom, they're not under the book spine and will not bend it anyhow.
Photo shows the leather covers from front. There is a hand carved cross on the front cover. Cross is painted in gold and it looks very beautiful on these mahogany color leather covers.

If there was ever a toe-in-the-water to the Fear Street series, this is it. It’s also the only copy of a classic Fear Street in size, cover, and price at my local Books-A-Million and I can’t help but feel that’s because it doesn’t bring the scares (or, really, much of anything).

The story centers on a douche of a dude who is so self-centered and full of himself that he challenges himself to date twins within a specific time frame. They both fall in love with him and begin to play off each other while a third sister - an EVIL sister - is thrown into the mix.

The only thing I kept thinking throughout the whole book is that SURELY sisters would talk to each other more. I mean, I wasn’t particularly close to my brother when we were teenagers, but we knew who each other was dating.

It wasn’t a dumb book per se, but it wasn’t anything special.

Ooh, a Fear Street enters the reading log, eh? I wonder where this could lead!

You just don’t see covers like this anymore. Now it’s all stark lines and cartoony stuff - where did all the paintings go?!

I promise I’m not one of those guys who insist that the past was better just because it was THEIR past, but just look at this cover! This one’s insane with the amount of things to look at but Fear Street books featured covers that, while definitely not timeless, did such a good job of capturing a mood that you really have to wonder why they stopped. Or why Fear Street specifically shifted to easier covers that said nothing about the book inside.

*sigh*

Anyway, this book was okay. I’m not generally a historical fiction kind of guy (especially when it comes to colonial times as the real history is almost always more interesting), and I feel like explaining lore - especially for a subject like Fear Street - will only bog stuff down later on with continuity and logical problems, but this does scratch a real itch for RL Stine for me. Here was violence. Here were stakes! Here was a twist that was pretty decent!

#ScribesAndMakers 13 March: Shameless self promotion day. Boost away.

New cover for my most popular ebook, Wipptee, available on Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, and others.

I have tried multiple covers for this book, a mystery/ action adventure set in an imaginary Australian country town called Rakali Springs, but this is the first one I've really liked.

It shows Maddie, my heroine, a very tough woman with serious attitude, who is searching for her missing husband.

Image of a book cover. Text: Jai Baidell, Wipptee. The cover is a portrait illustration of a young woman with grey-white hair, dark sunglasses, red lips and a black tshirt, against a grunge grey background. The illustration has spiky lines around the outline of the subject's head, which is what attracted me to the image. This is Maddie, and she is spiky.

Bookish crochet

One of my favourite crochet things to do is a granny square, I thing they are really versatile. They are quick to make, and then you can joined them together in what form you want. One can make a cover for a mobile phone, using a thicker yarn we can make a cover for a tablet, or a paper book cover.

But sometimes, at the end of the day, one is a little bit tired to follow a more complex pattern, so recently I try a more simple approach: making a chain with the wanted size, and then making double crochets on the back loop of the previous row, which gives it some texture.

I’ve tried fingerless gloves, a sleeve for an ereader, and a sleeve for books or notebooks to which I added a pocket. And it’s really simple: you just need to know how to make a chain, a double crochet, and a simple crochet (to join it).
