Slowly waking from winter slumber, with my first book of the year !

Commissioned French edition of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez.

Walnut cover with etched brass plates.
As usual, the etched illustration on the back cover is human-made by @chaabs

Il y aura un marché #médiéval vivant ce week-end à la Cathédrale de #Lausanne, afin d'en célébrer les 750 ans !
J'ai le plaisir de faire partie des exposants, et j'ai préparé un livre dans le style du reliure du XIIIe siècle. C'est mon premier #facsimile, il est donc perfectible, mais j'en détaillerai volontiers la construction. :)
Stand power-up ! Supports démontables pour plus de hauteur et nappes pour plus de couleur lors des marchés.
Je bosse encore sur une tenture d'arrière plan 👷‍🚧
(Méga merci à @chaabs pour toute la couture)

"His Dark Materials", by Philip Pullman.
I re-covered it a few weeks ago, but I can't remember which wood species I used. Oak maybe ? I'm so bad at identifying it afterwards. :/
Feel free to enlighten me if you know better, you wood-savvy people !

ERRATUM ! I lied in the first pic caption : cover is maple, not oak !

My first attempt at actually painting (vs "just" tinting) the leather. I hated the process, now loving the result. I'm left with the only option of getting better.
