Circles/rings and especially Dots are among the humblest of decorative tools binders can use to adorn their bindings and yet among the most useful. Regardless of whether you are making a design or period-style binding, dots and circles can be used in combination with traditional decorative tools or to create entire decorations on their own.

DOTS

I offer two sets of dot tools:

Large Set (10 tools) from 1 to 10mm in diameter.
Available for 170 euros (+shipping)

Small Set (5 tools)
from 1 to 5mm in diameter.
Available for 100 euros (+ shipping).

You can acquire them by writing to me at koutsipetsidis@gmail.com and supporting my work directly, or by visiting my Etsy shop.

Below you can see examples of bindings decorated with the dot sets.

CIRCLES

I now also offer a set of 5 circles

With an inner diameter (hole) of 1,2,3,4 and 5mm and an outer/total diameter of 2,3,4,5 and 6mm correspondingly.
Available for 125 euros (+shipping)

You can acquire them by writing to me at koutsipetsidis@gmail.com and supporting my work directly, or by visiting my Etsy shop.

Below you can examples of bindings decorated using the circle set.

This new set of tools will allow you to decorate your bindings and leather projects with runes, for example Futhark, Tolkien’s Angerthas or your own runic alphabet.

For what’s more it can be used to created all sorts of linear designs.

The Aethra Codex is a great example of a binding I’ve made using such a set.

The runic set includes 4 line tools that can be used hot or cold. You can blind tool (just the tool impression) or use them in combination with stamping foils.

Line dimensions: 8, 6, 4 and 2 mm. All are approximately 0,5mm in thickness.

PRICE – 100 euros
