Howl’s Moving Castle Rebind
This book will be available to purchase through an upcoming fundraising auction hosted by @bookbindsforacause starting 9/26/25
All proceeds go directly to the following organisations: World Central Kitchen, Palestine Red Crescent Society, and Gaza Soup Kitchen.
I follow a bunch of crafty people here: do any of you have recommendations for beginner bookbinding tutorial videos?
Normally I hate videos but I'm debating trying to get my kid to make some simple books with me and he's more likely to do it if I start with a short video. Aim is just to make blank notebooks and use some craft supplies. I've got pretty papers and fabric and stuff.
Forgot to share the incredible #endPapers from Nature Through the Seasons.
Possibly a photogram turned into a mirrored monochrome pattern

Here is my binding of the Metamophoses of Ovid. The cover (front and back) is a steel plate engraving called The Fall of Phaeton, anonymously created in the 17th century, Netherlands. The image was printed on art canvas with an inkjet printer. The spine title was hand foiled in red with a memory keepers foil quill. This is a three-piece bradel case binding.
A small update on my previous #moleskine #bookbinding post.
On the bottom part of the front cover there was a small stain (caused probably by the glue) that didn't look very nice, so i decided to attempt to cover it with metal decorations (small gears). I think that this addition, not only hid the stain, but it make it look better.

I finally started working on new book collections today. I'm very excited.
This one is the only journal left from my previous collection. It's filled with thick 300g black watercolor paper and it's still available on my tiny website

A guestbook prototype !
I've been showing it on my booth at various events, and so far it pleases both talented artists, and feral unmonitored children.
I made a journal, disguised as a book, with a gold leaf embossed title. The title would not fit on the binding so I improvised an abbreviation.

Finally finished up this commission of a box to house 2 ARCs of a Tim Powers book. It was fun to build a box with a drawer and I'm quite pleased with the result!
I made a book to take reference notes about my new hobby. There are pockets in the front and rear end pages. #book #bookbinding #leather
