Norse bredliks
Mye naeme is Cowwe,
On aice aye lie,
Alone, forlorne,
B’neeth the skye.
There is a manne
Aye’d lyke to meete
Belo the aice—
Aye lik the feete.
Mye naeme is Snayk,
And inn the see
Aye wrappe the worlde
Eternallye.
Til endd of deys,
And withowt fayl,
Aye hav one taske—
Aye byte mye tayl.
Mye naeme is Wolfe,
And wen aye heer
That Ragnarroc
Is drawinge neer,
Aye brayke mye chayn
And free aye runn,
Reevenge to seeke—
Aye eet the Sunn.

WIP - Doodlefied Bredlik Poems (A11 - version)
(see the finished book here)
With so many event-binds due to a specific date and keeping it all hush hush it's been quiet here and after it took me a moment to find the spoons to do a litte write up.
This tiny Doodlefied Bredlik went out to the typesetter @marvinhere It is an A11 sized version, with rounding and trimming the finished book turned out more of a square though.
As much as I love the tiny books, at that size they start being a pain and I usually take a moment to forget how my fingers cramped when holding the signatures for sewing.
I also sew with a waxed sewing thread in order to keep the swell low. Despite its size it comes up to around 20 signatures which can result in a lot of swell.
With as little weight as the pages have, I skipped the hidden cloth jointed endpapers and just tipped them on. There was a lot of squishing involved to get the signatures nice and flush and slightly angled before gluing and cutting the top and bottom edge under the guillotine (this time I was smart enough to reduce pressing pressure for a better result). I sanded the front edge and realised only then that it would have been smart to trim each signature at least a little in advance. This way it took way longer to get rid of the saw tooth. (You can still see it a bit on the picture below)
The cover was made from scraps as a Bradel binding. One of the biggest advantages of tiny books, you can use even the smallest its and pieces and put them to use.
I had the cover dry fitted first to be sure the hinge was large enough and the edges looked nice.
Fun fact: for the hinge it doesn't matter at all what dimensions the book your binding is, it depends on the board thickness, swell and covering material.
The leather was pared really thin to allow for good movement in the hinge area. I let it dry completely before hot stamping the title and, as a last minute decision, cover decoration.

Absolutely in love with the epic & ongoing bredlik project by @marvinhere over on the @renegadepublishing Discord. This is actually my second (third?) binding, the other one (two?) started back in February but currently languishing in WIP hell. Not quite the floppy, snuggly cow book I wanted/had in mind but it's a good start. Happy to have figured out a construction method for those legs I like & will improve upon next time.
This is volume 3, the poems wrangled and typeset by @marvinhere with illustrations by the mysterious Jenny (IG: thimblejuice). The Discord has been sharing every poem members come across as well as crafting some on the fly. The whole thing is a joyful project and in addition to Marvin's own binding (shared on Discord), @zhalfirin has bound two exquisite copies of it as well [1][2].
Am suuuuper psyched for the next volume currently in the works, so you can expect a herd of these babies at some point!
