Update #5: Week #4 Update
A very busy week for Onomasticon. I don't quite have images yet but the plate has been made for embossing the top of the book cases some slight design/orientation changes have taken place regarding where 'onomasticon' will be embossed on the top of the case.
In the mean time I spend the week running all over Chicago trying to source materials for the books covers, hoping to find a plentiful and consistent source where I can order in bulk when the time comes. During that process I decided to make a set of 26 mock-up books. They are empty but should help with putting the final touches on the book case mock-up and for presenting the project to collectors and libraries in the coming weeks.
I am attaching a photo of the mock-ups...
more on the way...thanks to all the backers...Spread the word.
