And so a wife commissioned me to make a sweet MOOG patch book for her synth-inclined husband person. It’s like a coloring book for music nerds.

I love a free-style commission project, and for this one I made three
inlay cloth ‘knobs’ on the cover to echo those on the patch-sheet pages. I
actually had a couple false starts getting each piece just so, but was
happy to oblige myself a do-over and was ultimately pleased with the results of my exacting
nature.
