Just a little reminder that I bind books if you're looking for a more unique gift for the artist or writer in your life. C:
Feel free to check out my shop to see what I have available, or take a look at my commissions if you're looking for something custom made! (Stuck on ideas? Have a peep at my portfolio.)

When I was a kid I would have loved to have some sort of cheesy fantasy book, the kind made of black & gold leather and those cheap acrylic gems. Now that I’m an adult with a reasonable amount of skill in bookbinding, I decided to design such a book.
The cover is in black chrome-tanned leather, with gold colored metal leaf for the designs and gold corner protectors. The gems are acrylic. I used metallic teal cardstock for the endpapers (I have a lot of it), and 50gsm sketch paper to fill it.
Endbands are in purple and blue silk thread, with a purple satin ribbon for the page marker.
