Handmade Book Cont.

I covered the cover with torn pieces of the inside of wood. I played around with different found materials (bark, wood, moss, dried ferns and leaves) but found this simple use of this one material worked the best.

In front of the book cover is the accordian fold. I drew a map on there so when the book is pulled apart it reveals this map. The different names on the map translate to different meanings relating to the themes. For example there is a logged area on the map called "Mort Forest" -Mort translating to "dead". 

Hand sewed into place with little drawings all the way through it.
