After cautiously and carefully paring a rather large piece of goatskin, I was ready to cover. Being that it’s summertime and rather warm in our bindery, I was faced with the challenge of a thirsty piece of leather and quick-drying paste. After wrestling with the leather, particularly the headcaps and corners, the book was successfully covered and put to rest overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design on the cover is quite simplistic, an inspiration from the first musical score titled Three Nyatitis<\/em>. A nyatiti is a five to eight-stringed plucked lyre from Kenya. The eight lines are spaced wider at the head of the cover then at the tail, where they end to form a partial circular shape. This negative space represents the sound hole of the instrument. The lines have been blind tooled into the leather. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"musicalscoresbinding9-erinfletcher\"<\/a> \"musicalscoresbinding7-erinfletcher\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The title for each composition has been gold tooled along the visible spine of the leather on either side of the blind-tooled lines. Each title has been hand-tooled with 16 point Centaur handle letters.<\/p>\n
