@alpineclublib.bsky.socialOur librarian is back at work on rebinding some of our old Alpine Journals. These are the working copies in the library and after a hundred years or so they can start to need a bit of tlc! #bookbinding #bookrepair
@bluezeldana.bsky.socialMy 6th bind (my own fic!)
I'm obsessed with all the moon details 😍 and I can't believe how thick this book is! Did I really write all that?
Art by Roseheira made for this fic years ago. Cover and typeset made by myself.
You can read this fic for free on Ao3

@birdiesbindings.bsky.socialI thought I'd share with you all some comments I have received from the public and customers recently, both at the #reenactment at #kentwellhall and at the #craft market last weekend.

@methylla.bsky.socialWizard of Oz is cased in and pressing. Did a lot of experimenting with this one. Title window: mostly a success. New glair recipe: success. Micah pigment on the edge: success. New foil press: excellent, might keep an eye out for a thicker font.

@towns-end-bindery.bsky.socialWinnie-The-Pooh by A. A. Milne 🍯
Typeset originally made by Mourning Mountain Bindery, who was generous in allowing me to use it. Cover is faux leather with gold foil. Endbands are handsewn with silk yellow and green threads.

@lesliedeilart.bsky.socialI made this book from a Heretic Parfum box I just couldn't throw away. Much of my own art is in high contrast black and white. I was able to use misprints as intermittent spreads between the blank pages. Unsure what to do with it now.
@birdiesbindings.bsky.socialI had a blast! My 1st craft fair with The Little Makers Market at the beautiful Unitarian Meeting House in Bury St. Edmunds.
Of course, I couldn't have done it without you, the fabulous customers! Thank you ❤️
Made my 1st sale within 1 minute of opening, and it didn't stop 😁

@pips-left-paw.bsky.socialThis is legacy-preservation project that is close to my heart - acquiring Jim’s equipment and supplies to keep on with his transformative and magical from-first-principles gothic bookbinding workshops. I wish everyone could have spent some time with Jim Croft. #bookbinding #oldways #artistbooks
