I had such an awesome time learning about marbling at the SoCal Renegade Bookbinding meetup. Really pleased with how things turned out. Everyone’s papers turned out so beautifully!

Homer’s The Odyssey 🏛️

My first time attempting to deboss by hand without foiling. The gold and silver on the cover is calligraphy ink I tried to paint into the pattern.

Long after it was originally published in the first issue of the revolutionary Indigenous newspaper OH-TOH-KIN, this book remains an important and relevent history of the colonization of the Americas and the resistance to it.

A book is centered in the photo with the book cover spread open and on full display. The back cover shows in a WWII era Japanese zero fighter plane and a WWII era German zeppelin with a swastika painted on its side. Both flying machines are depicted in black and white, like in old photos. The two flying machines sit between three lines of words. Line one at the top reads "TRUTH". Line two in the middle reads "AS TERRIBLE AS DEATH". Line three at the bottom reads "BUT HARDER TO FIND". The words and the images are centered in the middle of a red circle. The red circle has red stripes radiating from it like a sun against an off-white background. The spine of the book is solid red, with the title of the book written as "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE" in off-white capital letters. The front cover has the same off-white background, with the red sunburst stripes from the back cover extending onto the front cover. The front cover has the title written in black capital letters "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE". Centered on the front cover is a Reichsadler, which is an eagle with its wings spread, and in its claws it is gripping a wreath. Centered in the wreath is a ring of thirteen stars and a swastika. Below the Reichsadler is the author's name written in bold black letters as "PHILIP K DICK". The image shows the front endpaper of the book. The end paper has the image of a red sun against an off white background. Against the sun is the black silhouette of the golden gate bridge. All together, the picture is meant to mimic the look of a Japanese ink painting. At the top, above the red sun is the text "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE" in bold black letters. Above this title is some red text written in Japanese. At the bottom of the image, below the red sun is the text that reads "WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO" in bold black letters. The image shows the back endpaper of the book. The endpaper has the image of the new york city skyline, with the statue of liberty in the center. The skyline in the foreground is a solid black silhouette. More silhouettes of buildings can be seen in the background depicted in lighter grays. Off to the right side, a silhouette of a swastika can be seen sitting atop one of the buildings in the skyline. At the top of the endpaper above the statue of liberty is the text which reads "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE" in bold black letters. This image is a close up of the back cover of the book. The back cover shows in a WWII era Japanese zero fighter plane and a WWII era German zeppelin with a swastika painted on its side. Both flying machines are depicted in black and white, like in old photos. The two flying machines sit between three lines of words. Line one at the top reads "TRUTH". Line two in the middle reads "AS TERRIBLE AS DEATH". Line three at the bottom reads "BUT HARDER TO FIND". The words and the images are centered in the middle of a red circle.
