sculpting the inevitable part two

The design is almost complete. I have a strong cover suitable to the content. It frustrates me that progress is slow, the task a constant battle of trial and error. Will the Canford Snow White complete the look? Print quality must be the staple, everything else is secondary. The book consumes me.

Below are images and notes documenting the design process in hand with noted whims and additional research. My mind skips from one to the other, always looking for the next project. Also present is a list of local book binders that I've been encouraged to approach as they may be able to offer advice on materials, or even create a final piece beyond my own ability. Though I am sceptical of the costs entailed, the book is the key and a professional finish is desirable. If I am unable to sculpt it myself I may pursue these avenues.
