My printer: Hey I'm almost out of ink!

Me: bitch, I just put a XL ink in there yesterday! What do you mean?!

Also me, just tonight:

This is about 140k of words - 8 fics total, with individual headers and specialized dividers.

Would you like one? Well, I could make one for you too!

Please read this fic if you haven't, and if you have please read it again. Kudos. Comments. All that jazz.

I am honored and privileged that authors I respect keep saying yes to letting me touch their work. Ugh thank you again for being so cool...

A few more comparison shots. New design for the front and back - small spine update, but i really liked that vibe.

This side views. Holy shit. Girl, what a glow up.

In lieu of the bells in in here too - I wanted the WHOLE story as one chunky tome. I'll clip one of my favorite bits that I added through the whole bind, but i really like in this moment - their handwriting:

Got permissions to specifically share this page showing the comparison I did of the 1st & 2nd editions.

....I *did* rebind this for headlocket. I reached out months ago and made them an offer - I'll bind the book if you can do a few sketches for scenes that I could include. I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

Headers are the same - they're lines pulled from the poems in the fic. Laid in actual drop caps & matched the grey color from the headers. Resized the text messages and set them better in the block this time, FOR SURE.

Build out a title page, a specialized copywrite page, a quote paged - all that match the overall ecstatic of the bind's theme. For this fic headlocket also had included ART - so we have a full spread of headshots. Ugh. Beautiful.

This is the first time I've ever done a rounded spine. The entire process was ...not terrifying? It's also the first time I've use book board this thick. And let me tell you somethin - I'm not going back.

Ugh - she's beautiful. The headbands? On point. That curve? Posh. The book cloth? PERFECT.

Spent to much money out to dinner tonight.

But it was worth it.

Sent out a bind yesterday - y'all I'm so excited to share full photos of this book, I'm really proud of it. It should get to its new home this weekend~

SHES CURVED!

AHAHA The shoulders are a little shit but considering it's my first time the fact that they're there is ENOUGHT FOR ME AHHHHHH

Ahh yes, what every girl wants in the mail: a box of heavy cardboard sheets, a fucking quart of glue, and thin fabric already glue to even thinner paper.

What an honor to bind this gem. I fucking love this fic - it was one of the first Ghost/Soap fics I think I ever read. So happy to have it on my shelves!~ Thank you Wasp <3

If you haven't read Seasons yet - YOU TOTALLY SHOULD!

I tried to match the header text to the text that Wasp uses in their comics - so everything was as consistent as possible. I pulled quite a few topographic maps from the rough areas where each chapter takes place.

The straightest, most well aligned text block I think I've done.

Only took me 2 hours to sew but it's cool
