The Oleander Sword is so good. literally feeling like kicking my feet and giggling rn. what happened to Tasha Suri in that year between book 1 and book 2

#book 1 was fine. book 2 is so friggin good i can't stop reading. i feel like a sponge taking it all in #bhumika is bhumika but like ten times more herself and i am screaming. malini finally found a proper manipulate girlboss stride. #even PRIYA who was SO BORING in book 1 is making me lose my marbles. like i wont lie when she became an elder i was like ugh nooooooooo #but it was the absolute best decision ever her trying to rise from a maidservant to the second most important person in the country by #totally blowing off the politics and instead being some sort of a forest wizard is AMAZING #and the yEARNING. FINALLY. THE YEARNING IS HERE. i was SO BORED by the romance in book 1 but THIS IS IT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT. #malini trying to balance her controlling tendencies that are needed more than ever with treating priya properly. #no one figuring out why the godly ordained empress is letting that weirdo waltz around traitorously. #the two of them constantly being on edge bc WHAT IF SOMEONE FIGURES IT OUT. OH MY. THAT WOULD BE SUPER BAD. #AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE YAKSA AND THEIR SECOND COMING. BRO. THE WAY I SCREAMED. THIS IS SO COOL. #anyway i am only 40% through i am praying the book stays this slaying bc i am living for this #eernatalk

(There is text below, if you’d care to read it)

I was looking at the photos above to see if any of the books had marbled fore edges (Gabriel Jim might be holding such a book in the first photo, but it might just be a trick of the light on ragged fore edges) and at the 3/4 binding on A Tale of Two Cities (4th photo) because I tend to get overexcited about marbled paper in/on old books, and though many questions that have arisen from this, I’ve only included a couple below.

Why is there what appears to be a skull in a jar in Aziraphale’s shop?? …is it poor Yorick?

And what’s up with this little lizardy dude?

Let’s take a moment to ooh and ahh over the marbled paper and appreciate whoever in the props department found/made it. I know you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but it’s always a nice bonus if it has marbled paper on the cover/fore edges/endpapers. I also love it because one day I got bored (and apparently had too much free time on my hands) so I decided to get a second copy of Good Omens (because I thought it would be easier with a hardcover than the paperback I already have) and make it look as close to an 18th century book as I could with my level of skill (which does not include bookbinding), and one part of that was gluing/using double sided tape some period style marbled paper over the cover/binding.

Marbled Monday

It's time for a touch of marbling to keep this Monday going! This marbling was found in our Shakespeare collection. The book is volume 18 of Samuel Johnson and George Steevens's The Plays of William Shakespeare: In Twenty-One Volumes, an annotated edition of Shakespeare's plays. This is a sixth edition revised by Isaac Reed that was published in 1813 and called the first variorum edition. Oddly enough, today, September 18, is the anniversary of Samuel Johnson's birthday in 1709, so happy birthday to Samuel Johnson!

The marbling on the covers is a swirled sort of loose, dotty leaf-esque pattern in muted green, mauve, and black, rather than a tight traditional pattern like peacock/bouquet. It has some zig-zag movement to it in places, and I'd love to see what a larger sheet looked like, but from what I can tell there's not really a uniform pattern to the marbling. Interestingly, the marbling on the covers does not match the marbling on the fore-edges, which is orange and blue, and just one of several things that leads me to believe this is not an original binding.

Another of those things is the wormholes present in the first and last pages of the book that are not continued in the endsheets, which are of a heavy, laid cardstock that seems too clean and too heavy to have been used at the time the text was printed. There is also no damage to the covers themselves, making me think they are newer than the text block. Overall, the color combinations on the book are interesting, with the bright red spine, green and purple and orange and blue marbling, and I must admit aren't my favorite.

I just read your Kylar Pc c!Sydney sandwich post and omg. "Wear me out and keep going" x "what the hell did I get myself into" x Sydney going berserk in the prayer room.?!?.(!??!?!!! HELLO????

But also the shenanigans of virgins Pc and syd trying to sneak Kylar into the prayer room in the first place. He probably skitters up the wall & into a window. He has experience from watching PC. I assume he's not exactly welcome in the church bc of their beef w his parents

But ALSO the drama of Sydney & PC giving their virginity to "the dark one".. uh oh. And u KNOW Kylar would explode if Pc and Sydney gave them their virginities at the same time. They would LOSE IT

Literally regular maniac x NormalGuy(?) x nympho maniac I love them. They have so much potential too. Kylar not eating school lunch bc it's gross & Sydney bringing his own... What if they shared,,,,,

I'm squishing them together and making kissy noises I love them sm

hueheuehe i'm glad you enjoyed my sydlar sandwich fic! (probably should have a better name... but besides that) i think they both have a lot of great potential as yanderes together!! (found friendship through their shared love of pc, shared kinks, childhood memories etc, etc. (BOTH OF THEM SHARING THE ABILITY TO GO ABSOLUTELY FERAL!!! HELLOO????)

but yes. three (or two) virgins all trying to sneak into the prayer room to have sex and FINALLY bust out of those god forsaken chastity belts... also. um. yknow how feral sydney gets in the prayer room? imagining that with kylar has me FREAKING OUT!!! (also both of them being feral hngggg) but yeah kylar is definitely banned from the church for sure. pc and sydney probably sneak him in wearing a cultist's robe or something.

AAAAAAAAAAA the boys sharing lunch?? adorable. sydney insisting that kylar eat some of his food because he never sees him eat?? the sweetest thing ever. agh. please vrel let me make them kiss and make up.

#hatkuuasks #sydlarshenanigans #< what a cool tag amiright guys??? #guys??? #ugh. i rlly need to write that first chapter for double edged sword. idcldfflsdsdfkfskfdksdf #my silly self has it all planned out i just need to describe each scene perfectly or i'll lose my marbles. #yahhh....

i dont mind having to wait for packages cuz i believe in patience is a virture etc etc but im literally nose pressed against the window whispering packidge rn because i started a crochet shawl the other day with some blue variegated yarn my cousin bought me and ive used 300g so far so i ordered more and its not coming till the 12th so my project is sitting there unfinished. torturous

#i probably should have used a bigger crochet hook size to make it tho cuz the yarn calls for a 5.5mm hook but i didnt HAVE one at the time #so i used a 3mm which. means i probably used up more yarn than i needed to but now ive just got to commit and finish it with the 3mm hook i #im using mostly triple crochets so hopefully it balances out though #emi's meandering jotts #crochet #im going to do a pom-pom yarn edging on it when i finish 😁 #the colours change slowly enough to create this cool check but quick enough to also kind of marble it. its very cool i will take a photo #when its done 👍

Hello, hi, sorry to bother you. Can I ask you a few questions about edge marbling? Cause I'm wanting to do a suminagashiarble on the edges of a book I'm doing and also it sounds terrifying. What I understand so far is that you get two boards and two c clamps, clamp the shit out of the edge of your book, and then dip. Do I round the book before I dip the fore edge? Will clamping the shit out of it prevent water damage? Do I have to dip relatively quickly? Does speed matter?

Thank you for your time

No problem at all!!!! So, disclaimer up front that I am just ad-libbing wildly based on vibes and instincts, and my instincts often skew in the direction of shortcuts and forgetting steps. So I'm not the MOST reliable resource, if something I say sounds iffy to you, please go ahead and question it and test it on your own and prove me wrong! Edge marbling takes place at a point in the process where failure would be HEARTBREAKING, so take whatever precautions you feel like you need! I tested some thrifted books I didn't care about before moving to books I had made.

The rounding is a hard question. I haven't marbled any rounded books, so I'm speculating here, but as you marble, having sides that trimmed and sanded at is CRITICAL. it isn't as finicky as for like, gilding, but you don't want to get bubbles trapped under your edge because that will leave a blank space in your color. it's less obtrusive in suminagashi than other marbling styles, but still a damn shame. When I round, I usually trim the fore edge flat afterwards. I like the look, some people don't. I would definitely be willing to marble an edge like that. If you want the concave look, you'll need to marble before rounding. And that's going to be... hard, because your edges need to be as flat as possible and your spine won't be fully glued yet. You might be able to get it good enough, but I would worry about bubbles. This is something you can't really test on a thrifted book, but I would sew a blank book or something to test on before doing it for real. Maybe clamping, sanding, marbling, and drying each edge separately before proceeding? I'm not sure, sorry.

Now, overall... When I do this, speed is definitely key, but rushing isn't good either, because some of the actions do need to be precise. It's a tricky balance to walk, but I would prioritize speed myself, rather than risk the integrity of the book. If I was being REALLY careful, I would use boards cut to be the exact size of my text block so I could clamp in one go, then dunk my sides one-two-three and get it out and leave it to press and dry. I don't, I use board scraps and move them between sides of the text block as I go. To facilitate that, I use these clamps specifically for this task:

These are spring loaded nylon clamps. They ratchet down with hand pressure, and when you trigger a switch in the handle, they SPRING open. It's much faster than a nice clamp, and gives me enough pressure for this task. I'm not trying to hold the text block in place while I hammer it. I'm just trying to stop water from soaking into the text block. And if I do this right, I'll be barely touching my text block to the water anyways.

I mentioned bubbles under your text block up above, but even more than that, I try to be careful about not letting the the boards overlap the edge of the book. I sometimes let them recess by a smidge, but overhang will DEFINITRLY guarantee a space where a bubble could be trapped. I try to keep a clean flat surface nearby where I can dip an edge, unclamp, move everything to a new side, and get it all freshly clamped, aligned with the new surface. Usually I'll just need to do the reclamping process twice max before I have to reset my marbling vessel anyways, so I usually just move fast and get a corner of my table wet, and wipe it dry later.

Then, the actual dunk. I usually go with a slight rolling motion along the length of the edge, from one corner to the other. This is another chance for bubbles to escape. But I also don't want to let the book go too deep. The clamps will help with water soaking in, but you still don't want to tempt fate too badly, and you don't need DEPTH to get the ink to take. I.... forget if I'm supposed to let it linger for a moment or not, but I usually don't. I take just long enough to be sure I've gotten the whole surface of the edge. Then I lift. I also don't remember if I blot it at all, but if I do, it's just a gentle touch against paper towels to make it stop dripping so bad, then I move to clamp the next edge.

Even if you move fast, by the end, you'll notice your first edges starting to swell up and maybe ripple a bit. That's just paper reacting to water. But also, no, bad, that needs to stop asap. As soon as I'm done. I press the text block HARD. I put paper towels and such on both sides, and then I put a LOT of weight on top of it. I want to get this as flat as possible and eliminate as much swell and ripple as I can. I usually end up with a *little* left over, but I can tell because I knew how flat it was before, it's not something I'm embarrassed to put in a binding.

I hope that helps!!!! I just kind of fudged my way through the process based on one short class on suminagashi I took and what little info I could find about other types of edge marbling. It's worked well for me, and was more forgiving than I was afraid at first. But it's still nervewracking! Best of luck with your efforts, I hope some of this is useful for you!
