Handmade Coptic Bound Haiku Book

This is a one off hand made Coptic bound book inspired by the haiku collection of aldwarke.

The front cover is bamboo with 5 different veneers, and pyrographed outlines.

The back cover has the Kanji for "Haiku" 俳句 pyrographed onto a marquetry cover. I'm not sure what the the central veneer is pearlescent and glimmers in the light.

In the inside pages there is a collection of Aldwarke's haiku and short poems that I illustrated.
I've done up an animation simulating the book opening so that you can see the pages illustrated.


This absolutely wonderful, inspiring, eclectic collection of poems can be found here. Do please go and have a look.
