My Bookbinding and other Handicraft Endeavours

Two books lying on top each other. The top one has a turquoise spine with an upside down lettering "2026/1", the bottom book has a berry-coloured spine labelled "2026/2" the right way up.

The Book Cryptid

It is done! Just in time. 🙌🏻

I found cloth that came coated from the outside in our little local craft store. It's not very resistance to pressure, though. Put the two coverboards over each other to dry after glueing the cloth on and added the board and Bouldy. And now I have a little denty on the backside.

Cloth glued to a board. It's shiny and black, jellyfish and other maritime motifs are there in pink, purple and blue.

Final pressing!

And we are done!

The finished A5 book standing upright.

Sparkly!

The books standing upright, opened in a way to show the glittery-black endpapers and the two following purple pages.

The bookmarks ended up a bit short to my liking. Won't be as comfortable to open the book with with those shorties.

The opened book. Light gray pages with a light gray dot grid. In the middle a blue ribbon lies.

And here be my lazy endbands. I guess they work well. Might do them for Ostentiferous Stars after all. 🤔

A close up at the opened book. We look into the spine and at the glued on paper endbands. The two blue ribbons grow from beneath the endbands.

Another closeup looking into the spine at the bottom. The endbands sit quite snugly against the textblock.

Already prepared it for being used next week with all my usual first pages, future log and the monthly log.
