[sits-bound]

Made this little journal for a friend. It came out just as I imagined, the only issue is that it doesn't open fully. I think the hinges might be too small? But it's neat and I didn't have any issues, so I'm quite happy with it. Also look at the cute lil charm.

Made a mini book out of leftover playing cards and a field book.

The perfect base for cryptid notes.

Welcome to my first bookbinding project!

Background:

My best friend is pregnant, and I got it into my head that I wanted to get her a baby book. This presented several issues: 1. I wanted it to be calendar style, more like a journal of dates as opposed to a traditional milestone book, and 2. I wanted it to span five years of the child's life, because milestones don't stop after the child exits toddler-hood. So, naturally, I had to make it myself.

Designing the pages was easy enough with the help of Google Sheets. However, I went into this with absolutely no knowledge of how to accomplish it, so I ended up with a sheaf of loose-leaf paper to bind. According to my research, I had two options, and I settled on doing a double fan bind.

Here's the result:

The cloth spine could have been tighter, but you live and learn.

While that was drying, I called upon my intrepid leatherworking venture for the cover:

Don't tell her, but I'd never done a buckle before this. 😂

Next came actually attaching the pages to the binding, and when I couldn't find a tutorial for what I wanted...

...I settled on gluing construction paper to the pages and then gluing THAT to the leather.

The right pages are in color because after I finished printing them I ran out of colored ink! I think it's cute, though. 😅🤷‍♀️

The hole for the buckle gave me fits, and it's a little effed up, but it accomplishes its purpose.

I stitched her initials into the belt because I needed to affix it to the cover and I'm extra as hell.

And then, to complete this intrepid, homosexual audacity-fueled venture, I adapted my fanfiction logo into a bindery logo and ordered stickers from Canva.

Once the bun is out of the oven, I will decorate it with their name. For now it is only marred by a minor glue mess up. 😂

And there you have it! Mistakes were made, but I learned a lot and have no regrets! I hope she loves it. 🥰

All these and more now available in my shop - all hand embroidered and ready for your thoughts and creative ideas <3.

I feel so ugly for pushing the link. But it's been rough financially. So I'm just hoping someone likes something and they know where to look for it. With code YES10 at checkout etsy is offering $10 off any order over $40, Monday through Wednesday (if you're in US, Canada, UK or Germany. They just decided to screw everyone else, but that's etsy for you). So if you are in any of these regions, that's a good deal to use! You get ten bucks off and I get paid in full, and the corporate giant gets slightly less. I call that a win-win-sadly-also-win. So, I hope this maybe helps you decide.

Anyway, thank you for all the recent likes and reblogs, they have kept my spirits up a lot! Means so much to me. So thank you. ❤

I bought this bookbinding kit from @thepapercraftpanda and I am super happy with it. You can find her on Instagram as well as her blog It's everything you need to get started on your bookbinding journey. It was $34.77, which included the shipping.

I am not affiliated with Misty's business, I'm just a fan of her teaching the ins and outs of bookbinding. You'll find tons of free information on her blog, so I hope you'll check it out.

Mini Journal #6

Once again, I am not all that sure if I got the paper grain right. I thought I did, but now I’m having second thoughts. I know the tips and tricks and yet I still feel like I’m flipping a coin most of the time when it comes to the grain. And there’s too much spine board at the top. I either messed up my measurement (highly possible) or the spine itself is slightly smaller at the top than it is at the bottom (highly likely) but I’m really happy with how this turned out. Might be my best so far -- the endbands certainly are. More pics below the cut

Guillermo del Toro’s Comic Book Library at Bleak House. Where he apparently paints figurines. And also creates stuff like this…

Design for Sammael in Hellboy

Design for Ron Perlman as Hellboy, adapting Mike Mignola’s iconic comic to the body of a human inside a costume.

Hi @evil-robot-cat! I saw the notification and took a little (really crappy video of the last journal I finished. I'm waiting for the glue to dry on two more. As you can see my headband needs some work and the bottom of my pages peep out from the cover. I'm still working on getting a guillotine so I can have flush edges. They're pricey so it'll have to wait for a few pay days. Thank you for asking to see. I bet you are MUCH farther on your journey than I am.
