notwhelmedyet: It took about three months, from typesetting to the final pressing, but I’ve finished binding my trilogy Drifting Together! I was a bit ambitious with this project and paid for it in lots of small alignment mistakes . These books were my first attempts at:Printing on fabricSewing together multiple pieces of fabric into a cover (tricky, lots of math, but necessary because my printer wouldn’t take anything larger than letter sized)Embroidered coversMaking bookclothTranslucent vellum title pagesEmbroidered faux headbandsChisel trimming booksThe beautiful illustrations are pieces I commissioned from @kurxo way back in 2020. I was, perhaps, a little optimistic about how soon I’d be starting this project. These came out great between the fabric and the binding. I especially love the gold text. I’m happy to see you were able to use my drawings! Your hard work paid off. -- source link
