Livre d'heures / Heart binding completely handmade as a antique book of 15th century

This book has the shape of an almond when it is closed
and when it is it takes the shape of a heart.
This blank book has wood plates covered in orange silk velvet fabric, decorated with some precious stones and a little cherub with a tassel
The pages are colored to give the color of an old paper. For the handbands I use two colors of threads yellow and red , the fore-edges are tainted in old gold.
