The latest bind - The Harvest of Uruk by Aethelflaed It is getting sent to the author. I love the process of binding but don't necessarily need to keep the end product. So I love binding them for the author and sending them out into the world. Every bind I have been adding a new skill and this one was creating chapter headings and more decorative texts. The photos don't pick up on it but I love how the gold foil leaves a texture on the cover, slightly indented so when you run your fingers over it you can feel the words.

I fell in love with the fic Liquid Gold by @sodiumazideandothertoxins (with art by many talented artists) and I kept rereading it, it's a gentle fic with the ineffables (human au) falling in love. I wanted to have a paperback copy and so it was my first personal bind. I reached out to Sodium and I also got to bind a copy for them and compiled it with a few of their shorter fics too, I highly recommend all of them!! I loved the process of choosing the style of the cover, the collaboration with them to create this book and sending it off in the mail. Thank you for this opportunity.

(also thanks for supplying the photos SodiumAzide cause I forgot to take any before sending it off)

For a friend who is passing through and we made friends through the Good Omens fandom

These two binds are by Edosian Orchids 901 (Open Arms and Face Value), I can highly recommend the fics.

We both sought the authors permission and soon I will bind a copy for Edosian.

It was my first time using HTV and I wasn't 100% happy with the result, mainly the glue that kinda shifts around the transfer but I think with practice I will get better.

What I was really happy with is the way the snake goes around the cover and looks really interesting.

My friend wanted it black on black so it was hard to capture the detail but in person it looks subtle but catch it in the right light and it looks impressive.

The end paper was from a local paper shop I went a little bit crazy in, bought a lot of paper and was excited to use it in this project.

My next project is a custom notebook for another friend and a handful of fics for various authors.
