the biiiiig book

Here are photos of that enormous book I finished last week for a custom order. It's one of the biggest books I've ever made thus far!!! It turned out really nice, although my arms are quite tired! :)

It's hard to judge the size of this thing by the photos, but if you take a look at one of the pics below, you'll see a side-by-side comparison with a standard-sized journal that I normally make...it's literally dwarfed by this bubba book!



12" x 12" x 2" thick
400 pages 50 lb. drawing paper
heavy duty antiqued old-world leather
