Today we're finally continuing the saga by creating the Tome of Earth, the third book in the Elemental series! In this bookbinding video we create an epic spellbook wrapped in green stained leather using traditional techniques. Check out our other bookbinding videos for more in-depth explanations of the steps such as sewing the signatures and sewing headbands, or our detailed step-by-step course called "Quest Log" available to Patrons and Members from the Apprentice tier and up.
