Bible Repair

Used for years by the client’s preacher grandfather, this Bible was in terrible shape but had great sentimental value. The covers were too deteriorated to save, but she requested I preserve parts of them as labels for the memories. I repaired the tattered pages, sewed it back together, and inset the labels into the new goatskin cover.

This page was completely torn out, and the bits that were left were crumpled and ripped. I pieced it back together, mounted it on heatset tissue and reinserted it.
