Did a bunch of #bookbinding yesterday, and in order to make things smoother, I made myself a punching trough out of cardboard. It was way easy than I thought it would be, and it makes punching the holes in my signatures so much easier!

I made a little zine on mysticism.*

I also digitally & analogly (?) added several strange phenomena, inspired by art duo Wanderwelle 🩶

* I'm not religious, but apparently my photography is drawn to places of worship??

Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.

Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so proud of these! I learned a great deal and am planning on making a larger one for A5 notebooks.

bookmaking is yuri

the touch and texture of fine printing [in fine press printing the ink “kisses” the paper],
handmade or mouldmade papers that are soft to the touch, often with deckled edges,
binding materials, such as a variety of colors of book cloth, silk, or leather,
