I've spent the last month learning how to dye with indigo using Arashi Shibori techniques and made some books with it!

Used one of my favorite longstitch techniques for the binding, too.

Two books with spines facing the camera. Spines have blue and yellow exterior stitching and the book covers are made with starry blue and white fabric.

I made my own book cloth for the first time and did this modified chain long stitch binding as practice!

wrote some modern au shimao (wherein maomao has amnesia and shisui takes care of her) for the hurt/comfort exchange!

It was fun to write in the apothecary diaries world again!!

Screenshot of an AO3 summary Text reads Forget-Me-Not discokonomi Summary: But before she can fully fall into her dreams, the door to her hospital room opens to reveal a nurse doing her rounds. The noise is enough to coax her mysterious guest from her sleep. Unlike Maomao, she’s fully alert immediately, and her big eyes go wide as she takes in Maomao, a wide smile erupting on her pretty face as she squeezes Maomao’s hand. Is that flush of heat a fever? It must be. Perhaps she has the flu. When Maomao wakes up in the hospital with no memory of how she got there and a strange young woman asleep on her lap, she slowly jumps to the logical conclusion. (Perhaps she should have waited for more evidence.)

SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL

an historical sakuatsu polar exploration AU

Ch 7: In which they finally build a hut, Atsumu has a soft spot for wishes, and Kiyoomi feels useful (twice)!

Text on an image of an Arctic sky with aurora. Text reads Safe Return Doubtful Chapter 7 Luck and wishes “Why don’t ya teach me something I don’t know, professor?” Miya grumbles, then “shit, fuck” as the object rolls off of the shelf. Kiyoomi catches it before it hits the bed. Miya is just as fast, though, his hand charting a direct course for the object, and catches it, too; though it’s already enveloped in Kiyoomi’s hand. He can feel the tough skin of his fingertips where he’s grazing Kiyoomi’s fingers, both of them cupping the object tight. Despite the outside temperatures, he’s warm. Or maybe Kiyoomi is just frightfully cold.

I wanted to make a journal for the Chicago Stationery Fest this weekend, and got a little carried away. I had a ribbon from Valentine's Day, too, that I wanted to play with, and I wanted to learn to love French link stitches.

Come say hi if you're gonna be at the fest!

#bookbinding
Handmade black and grey book with a pattern of fruits on the cover. The back and front covers face the viewer, with the text pages fanned out. There is a purple ribbon running across the covers, and the spine has both buttonhole and French link stitches in seafoam green thread.

Text on an image of a Japanese street at night through a torii gate. Text reads: Atsumu, with his foxheart and fleet feet, runs along wolves. Meet me at the midnight run A skts gift for Karo Hybrids | angst Explicit Text on an image of a Japanese street at night through a torii gate. Text reads: Atsumu loves running with Kiyoomi at the Midnight Run, when hybrids transform under the moonlight and frolic, once a month. He loves hooking up with him afterwards, too, adrenaline pumping in their veins, his nose full of Kiyoomi's scent. And he loves Kiyoomi, even if he can't really admit it. (He doesn't love that Kiyoomi always leaves, right after he wakes up.)

I know he sends Tsukishima the ugliest little postcards because Tsukki can't avoid his mail.
Manga panels from Haikyuu ch 378. Yamaguchi is giving Tsukishima a souvenir from Hinata. It is a shocking pink Rio T-shirt.

WAAH IM SO LATE BUT THIS IS SO CUTE ANON
I'm absolutely imagining Atsumu rescuing Osamu from near disaster while he's trying to make a birthday cake.

Meanwhile Osamu emails Atsumu lists of "idiot-proof recipes that even a scrub like you can make" bc if it has too many steps Atsumu can be hopeless.

I got a copy of the book The Art of the Fold which walks you through a bunch of folded book forms and decided to start off with a pocket accordion with a cover and inserts.

I wasn't sure what to put in the pockets so I made little swatches of some washi I own.
Small folded accordion paper book with pockets on a cutting mat. The cover is orange and the inside is a retro orange and teal pattern. The book is standing open on its bottom edge. Inserted into the pockets are washi tape samples. Left is ushijima and Tendou Washi from pengu, center is high tide pancake washi, right is a purple ribbon sticker.

here's a process pic of some covers that I put together while listening to a 99pi podcast about a neurotic Assyrian king.

this one is going so well that I'm scared to like.... sew it together 😭

(Reposted with alt text!)
Two square book covers on a green cutting mat. The left has an outer cover of Japanese washi paper decorated with pattern filled clouds in various shades of blue. The right is an inner cover with a golden octopus pattern.

o!kiyoomi a!atsumu

Atsumu's perspective of the heat season.

🔗 ao3.org/works/61451749/chapters/157086799
Screenshot of Ao3 summary on a background image of chestnuts. Screenshot reads: Drupe Discokonomi Summary: When summer’s sweet heat sticks like sugar to the tongue, the winds from the mountain blow hot across the treetops, and the fat stonefruit drop from their trees, heavy and ripe, you know Omega season has come. Kiyoomi has one Alpha in mind when his heat comes: Atsumu. But in order to properly milk his knot, he needs Tooru, another Omega, to prepare him. (Don't worry; Kiyoomi repays the favor in kind. It's his pleasure, after all.)

Safe Return Doubful

A SKTS Polar Exploration AU

Chapter 5 - in which Bokuto counts penguins, 'sounding' means something very different on a boat in the early 1900s, and Kiyoomi makes landfall.

🔗 ao3.org/works/56882689/chapters/159257061
Safe return doubtful Chapter 5 Terra Firma There’s pride in his voice, all well-earned; his expedition had been a fruitful one, although Iizuna didn’t get a chance to reach the Pole. He’s hungry for it now. When he approached Kiyoomi about this journey the longing in his voice had been palpable, and Kiyoomi thought to himself: Iizuna won’t be complete until he reaches the Southern Pole. Exploration is a peculiar and cruel desire; one that sates man’s curiosity and empire’s devouring. --- Land, at last.
