On the way to India last year when I was trapped with nothing but my own brain for entertainment on one of our many flights, I dreamed up a custom bible that was, “quirky”.
My friend Jon from morningrebinds had recently started rebinding worn-out bibles and I wanted to support his business, but make it ✨extra✨
Over the coming months, I made a few different digital designs, got a few terrible leather samples, and scoured the world for the perfect bible that I could commit to for the rest of my life… it was a p r o c e s s.
Finally I found rainbowleather out in NY who was able to print my design on this genuine lambskin leather.
I found an Ultrathin ESV Bible that had all the little features I wanted.
Then Jon worked his magic by tirelessly sanding off the gold gilding. Dyed the edges light blue with a navy and gold speckling, added a gold ribbon, and bound it in my quirky but FUN floral printed leather.
It’s a work of art. I’m so grateful for talented and patient friend...
