The Dog-Eaten Bible

The client’s dog had some fun with this bible.photophoto (1)

I filled the torn foam and stabilized the chipboard. I also rebuilt a new spine and extended it beyond the torn edge and tucked it under.  Although I don’t always like to distress new materials to match the original, it seemed best for this not-so-old book to have the new cloth blend in with the old.  I smudged some watercolor and paste onto the new cloth.photo (2)photo (3)photo (4)
