Here is my binding of the Metamophoses of Ovid. The cover (front and back) is a steel plate engraving called The Fall of Phaeton, anonymously created in the 17th century, Netherlands. The image was printed on art canvas with an inkjet printer. The spine title was hand foiled in red with a memory keepers foil quill. This is a three-piece bradel case binding.

Somnus was the Roman god of sleep (equivalent to the Greek Hypnos). According to Ovid, Somnus has a thousand sons, including Morpheus (who appears in dreams as a human), Phobetor (who appears as an animal), and Phantasos (who appears as an inanimate object).

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

This is a rebind I made for an auction that will take place in April. The auction is organized by PressThePatriarchy on Instagram. Keep an eye out if you want to bid on this one.

Bookcloth used is ivory wooqu. Endpapers are from the 1950s Flower gift paper book by The Pepin Press.

Taketori Monogatari (The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) is listed as one of "1001 books you must read before you die," but calling this 10-page fairy tale from the 9th or 10th century CE a book is quite a stretch. What it is, however, is a fun and often hilarious story about Princess Kaguya, a beautiful girl found inside a bamboo shoot, who sends five knights on difficult missions to complete in order to win her heart.
