I have a horrible habit of gradually using more and more pressure when hand foiling, and I end up burning holes thru my bookcloth.

Just revisiting some old stuff! This is a journal I created a couple years ago in a class.

A green leather-bound book standing upright on a table with both covers open to show the gold vine design that crosses the whole book.

Happy Friday! Here's an endband to end the week! This journal was the first time I've done more than one bookmark. It was interesting seeing the endband over all of them, but it worked out in the end.

The top of a journal showing a hand made endband made of gold and white silk. The journal has 3 ribbon bookmarks in black, white, and gold.

Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence by R.F. Kuang

Inspired by The Locked Library’s special edition. The image in the window is part of a steel plate engraving of 19th century Oxford which was drawn and engraved by William Westall & Edward Finden. All other elements come from Canva. The typeface is Lovelace.

I printed on Wooqu bookcloth using an inkjet. The end papers are from Two Hands Paperie.

Image 1 shows a hand holding aloft a book titled Babel by RF Kuang. The bookcloth of the cover is green, with numerous filigree yellow designs surrounding a gothic arch window in the center. The window contains a steel plate engrave image of early 19th century Oxford, UK.

This image shows the back cover of the book. It has the same design as the front cover except that there are no words, and the gothic window shows a slightly different section of the image of the steel plate engraving of Oxford.

This is a close up of the front cover showing the woven texture of the bookcloth.

Messing around with onlays for the first time. My bench is an absolute wreck while I figure out my process.

I mentioned in my intro that I'm a #bookbinder so I thought I really ought to share some of my projects.

The purple one I just finished today. It and the blue one were commissions. The green/tan one is one of my standard designs which will be going onto my Etsy store when I re-launch later this year.

All three of these were rounded and backed case bindings, for those in the know

A thick purple notebook with silver triple moon decoration.

A large book bound in leather and marble paper with a gothic title "An Age Without Light"

A journal bound in green book cloth and tan marble paper on a background of white planks. A pen, house plant and some stones sit to one side.
