Work of All Saints by @kaikamahine

What is fanbinding if not an elaborate system of fic recs? A while back my esteemed colleague @pleasantboatpress recommended this story, and I really wanted to try my hand at binding it.

🏵️ I knew I wanted to give the typeset an old-fashioned vibe with some fun twists, referencing both el Día de los Muertos and Mexican culture in general; hence marigolds used for endpapers, frontispiece portrait frame, and scene dividers.

🏵️ Choice of drop caps was inspired by papel picado, and then I decided to just go apeshit on it, and cut out actual an papel picado banner for the cover. So I did! By hand! With a modeling knife! And backed it with black paper for added contrast.

🏵️ I need to maybe back off of foiling for a bit, because the tip of my index finger is loosing sensitivity, but! Still used it to title the spine (note two more marigolds).

🏵️ I actually decided to try a new method of edge decoration on a whim, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Transferring digital prints on the book edges has its limitations, but it's also quick, easy, and relatively mess-free and painless when compared with my usual adventures with acrylic paint.
