Yesterday I restored an old book(RAMAYANA), written by Rajagopalachari, published in 1957. It belonged to my grand father. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

I found this book in his old card-board suitcase, and it was in a rather bad shape, no original binding was found, there was no spine on the book at all and the stitching was slanting badly, and needed to be completely resewn. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

Bound in fine brown leather attached to hard card-boards, and the paper was stitched using waxed linen cords.⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

Absolutely enjoyed restoring this old beauty.⁣⁣⁣

#Repost @siobhan_cox_carlos • • • • • • W.I.P. lovely to be re-united with some of my work again n @theshamblesstudios- tganks to amigo @lesleywingfield. Here is proof that I worked on old books before going on my travels. This one is great because the previous owner had underlined a lot of sentences, adding to the beauty of the surface. Will be bringing a few of these pages in Part 2 of my travels. #oldbookd #oldbookrevival ##abstract #abstractartist #artistsofinstagram #artist #artistsoninstagram #artists #colour #colourpop #happy #thankful #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #irish #irishartist #painter #myhandsmaking #color #colorcrush #colorcrushcreative @irish_artist_ie. @oldbookrevivalists https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZfrNdnOwo/?igshid=coi7kzc2rkga

Altered book cover. I always have trouble deciding what to do on my book covers and decided to add painted florals, quilt fabric and a sari ribbon to this one. #alteredbook #handmadebookcover #handpaintedflorals #artjournal #oldbookrevival #mixedmedia #vintagebookart (at Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B42sciYAhm1/?igshid=lirjozzfndew
