I've now finished my book bound in dragon skin. Here it is.
The next photos were taken with the flash on, so you can see that the cover is iridescent. The dragons scales have been painted red, with a bronze fleck.
Originally I made the whole cover in one piece with a hinged spine, but after I'd sculpted it the hinge no longer worked, due to the fact that paper pulp dries like cement. The solution was to separate the covers from the spine and attach the spine separately after I sewed on the covers.
