Creative Destruction - Part Two

Anybody whose been following this blog (and lets face it, there's probably only about three people who do) will remember my predilection for attacking books with Stanley knives. Well the good news is that at least one of these three has finally reached a state which can described as 'finished'.

The spine and inside are painted gold, which looks much better 'in person', the black fabric is somewhat furry and had I known the rate at which it would pick up fluff I never would have allowed it into my life. The red bit is actually bright red cotton fabric with a sheer layer of something black over the top of it (you can tell that I know ALL about fabric, can't you?) which gives it a weird 3d kind of look (again, only 'in person'). The darker inside painted bits are actually black. I'm not sure why my camera is being so creative with colours today. The black ribbon, of course, hides the sloppy bits where the bits of fabric join up. Please assume that it is a small book, not that I have a giant hand.

Please don't ask about what happened to the other two.
