Images taken with Canon XTi
This is a clamshell box. I made it as a case for my white coptic sketchbook. I covered the sketchbook in paper because I plan to draw a swirl drawing on the outside of it like the spirit swirl. My thought for this case was "if this is going to hide my sketchbook with it's swirl drawing on it's cover this case has to look really cool." As you can see in my post on the making of this case I cut the design of the swirl out of black fabric and glued it down over shiny white fabric. The design was cut out in one piece so I used it on the inside of the case. I love how it turned out.
If someone would like a custom case like this one I would love to make it. Go ahead and contact me with your idea of what you would like a case for and how you would like the case to look, what colors and what you would like the drawing to look like, and I'll quote you a price. My e-mail address is in my profile.
If you're ever over at my place I'd love to show you this or any other book I've made.
Update:
I wrote a post with some resources for how to make your own coptic book here. The post also gives links to other books I have made, or you can see my posts that are tagged with bookbinding.

I love this bookbinding thing! You told me that you were in a bookbinding class, but I didn't have any ideas about what you'd create...this is beautiful. I love beautiful things, I love this! Your swirl image is fun, but here it is especially striking. Great job.
