Might be addicted to this 3-signatures bind.
Did a little gift I can't post about yet and then had to quickly do a little octavo for tracking dog tricks. (It's drying and being pressed, so photos later.)
Cute little octavos are also great for using up leftovers.

This one I finished a few days ago, but only took photos today while waiting for the hot foil pen to heat up.
A sewn boards adventure log for Mum and her dog for Christmas. I would've liked to also use in-boards bradel for it, but as so often, /2

And now, everyone please join into the mantra of "Done is Better than Perfect"
But you know, I'd rather have the wonky shit happening on my #BulletJournal than on the books I'll do for others. This is an in-boards bradel bind and I *really* needed a refresher for it.

Been a while I posted something, as some IRL stuff paused the bookbinding endeavours for three months at least. So I'm now working on 7 books simultaneously and not taking vids or presentable photos. :P
One book's finished, as it's a Crimbo pressy and my new BuJo needs finishing before the 27th…

The pages I needed to print vs the misprints because of my stupid HP printer. I should charge them for the paper wasted.

Ink Cartridges finally arrived! 🙌🏻
And of course, I put in the already printed signatures wrong, or miscalculated what I've already printed. 🙄 More waste sheets for furture projects!

Mum found Granpa's old compass during the move and I immediately claimed it as mine.

However, new place new setups. This metal thingy serves as a ruler when cutting signatures, provides something to push signatures against and thriples as a press.

Once again, the printer taught me to not trust it. Printed AAAALL the signatures in one go. When doing the backsides the printer grabbed two sheets. Thankfully it happened within the very last signature, so only three sheets of paper were wasted.

How could one ever do a #bookbinding without your dog?
Sadly, the video of our dog tricking performance was taken from too far away, so here's a training vid from Friday evening, with some guest stars. 🤭 #bookbinding

And here we are, a quick little sewn boards bind, just for this Big Bang I've joined.
Also, first time attempting more than one colour with my trusty hot foil quills. Not too bad, but precision won't be a thing. 🤪

Me, yesterday: I *could* use the multi-projects notebook with many blank pages. I also could do a nice little sewn boards things for a dedicated project.
Expect photos later on, unless I forget. But so far, I only had to look up one step. Most has been done from memory. 🙌🏻

I need to ask for support, because big vet bills happened and are still going to come in. So, I'm opening commissions that I hopefully can fulfill quickly-ish: Chibis, landscapes and handmade notebooks.

When you go to look at the offerings, please do take note of the sticky posts at the top of the fth2025 offerings blog. There was a significant tagging problem with Dreamwidth this year due to the large number of posts. We fixed it, but the fix does mean that searching is a little more complicated.
