binder's board, leather, decorated paper
About the Work
Boxes are part of the bookbinder's bag of tricks. Mostly, I make boxes to protect books; but occasionally, such as now, I make one for fun and then I get to stretch out a bit. Geldhaus is of course a fancy piggybank with an architectural kind of name.
