Finally added a gallery for my #bookbinding stuff at my website:

For now it's still mostly #Binderary stuff, but I'll add some newer books later™.

Well, the edge "gilding" didn't quite work on two edges, but other than that, this came out pretty fucking fancy.
For my current book I'm doing a Bradel binding (IMO the least objectionable cased binding method I've found so far.) but now I have to decide how to cover the case.
Since this will be a gift I want it to look nice and fancy and I don't like any of my bookcloths enough to cover the whole case with them.
So I'm thinking quarter- or half-binding. But how?
For the endpapers I picked nice blue paste papers that look a bit like rain running down a window and the book has themes of nature, slow apocalypse, decay and people being nice to each other, so a slightly melancholy aspect of nature seemed appropriate.
I thought I'd do similar colors for the case, but now I'm thinking maybe rather contrast it? I have a bookcloth that's a bright yellow and a dark green pastepaper that kinda looks like the reflection of a forest roof as seem through rainspeckled puddles that might look nice?
Or the bright yellow-green-blue will just look garish and missmatched. :/
Playing around with some new techniques for my #glitchart pronouns, so here's something for the She/They users out there.
Working on some #glitchart pronouns again.
OK, i think I'm on to something.
MUAHAHAHA! It finally worked!
Ever since I started making stickers, I dreamed of making small booklets of stickers that you can easily peel off on the go.
And now, through the power invested in me by wire binding machine, I CAN!
OK, after a pretty productive Sunday afternoon, I think I have this DIY postcard thing figured out.
