Discussion:
So I need to create an image of a pentagram with three skeleton keys at the base.
The whole book will be closed and sealed with a flap on the back cover and two brass buckles to hold it closed as I did earlier with the Paladrym.
So when it's finally finished the book will look something like this: (with a black cover)

Work and finding an alternative source for grey board has taken it's toll and I was only recently able to finish the body of the book. I still have yet to mount the buckles and straps on the cover but I am going to show it to the client tomorrow to get his input for where he wants them.
I forgot how labor-intensive double-folds can be. :)
Pics to come.
Update: 5.30.12
I've finished the exterior cover for the book - the shaded areas will be carved out in the next day or so.
Update: 5.29.12
Secured enough grey board for the cover and have sewn up the secondary book. Now all I have to do is layout and carve the symbol, build the buckles and start assembly.
Update: 7.2.12
DONE.
I've delivered the 3-Keys to its new owner who has promised that he will tell me the Book's name when it's revealed.
