Book #3 is going well so far! I have to punch holes in each signature in order to prepare them for sewing. The book on the right, my last project, was done VERY poorly and resulted in a mess when sewn. I worked slow and kept things nice and tight this go-round.

Project #3 is in full-swing! This one is another copy of the last project, but as a private commission by a friend ^v^ I didn't expect OR want a comm so soon- Because I'm still VERY much a novice, I'm only charging for materials and I'm waiting until after I finish to charge.

First time in a while that I've felt down. It's not a big deal, I have the tools to deal with it now, but I definitely did NOT miss this feeling x> I'm sure all will be well. Be good to yourselves💜

It's difficult to understate how surreal this is for me. After 1 week; a total of around 7 hours of active labor and several nights of waiting, I've hand-bound my second and largest book to-date. Nearly 500 pages, 130,000 words. Even the cloth cover is made by hand.

This novel is ready for a cover. I had a hand in writing the story here. It's a long one; written by a dozen different artists and several writers- myself included- over the course of eight years. It feels SO good to hold this in my hands. Seven hours of labor, give or take!
Tonight, I trimmed down the edges of the text block. The first pic is how they were before. I made a few mistakes, but I think I recovered nicely 💜 Tomorrow comes the case, and we'll call this one finished!

The answer was to not be a lil bitch I guess? Idk, it all worked out 💜
I gotta trim this text block, and every time I go to tackle it, this overwhelming sense of dread hits me Artists, how do you get over the fear of making a single wrong move that might destroy hours of hard work 😭

With the spine consolidated, I tacked endpapers on either side of the text block. Along with being decorative, these will work alongside the ribbon and muslin to bind the text block to the case, which I'll be making tomorrow. If all goes well, it'll be all done tomorrow!
