Hand Embroidered Bookbinding for a Bible

​Hand Embroidered Bible

This hand embroidered binding was commissioned for the Viking Studio edition of the breathtakingly beautiful Pennyroyal Caxton Bible, originally published in a limited letterpress edition, illustrated by Barry Moser.  I based the design of the embroidered cover on a simple cross, softening it with damask motifs. Queen stitch and turkey stitch. Pure linen fabric, cotton and wool threads. Size of the book: 31 x 20.5 x 5.5 cm (8.1 x 12.2 x 2.2 in).

Hand embroidered bookbinding for "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"

Floral Bookbinding 

​Hand embroidered bookbinding. It houses „Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by T.E Lawrence. The design was inspired by ecclesiastical textiles of Tudor period. It is a floral design, confined by strict symmetry. Linen fabric, silk and gold threads. The binding includes hand embroidered silk headbands. 26x19cm.

My inspiration came from 13th/14th century Egyptian embroidery. You can see the original embroidery in the smaller picture. I drew the picture into a pattern, and embroidered it with backstitch. The main motif is embroidered using cutwork, the smaller elements are embellished with pulled thread stitches. Cotton fabric and cotton Madeira thread. 45x45cm
