I wanted a woodsy feel so I went with raw book board &#8211; I also did a little hand-drawn woodgrain pattern on the inside with black and gold pen.<\/p>\n<p>The animals are all hand-cut and glued to the cover, with a protective varnish seal. They&#8217;re all animals that are found in and around the Rockies, like grizzly bears, white tailed deer, big horn sheep, coyotes, mountain lions, pine martins and hawks.<\/p>\n<p>The inside paper is 100% recycled French speckletone. The sewing is a type of modified coptic stitch and was done in red waxed linen thread.
