Once again, the printer taught me to not trust it. Printed AAAALL the signatures in one go. When doing the backsides the printer grabbed two sheets. Thankfully it happened within the very last signature, so only three sheets of paper were wasted.

Bookbinding for a Koran https://clevelandart.org/art/1944.495
Islamic book covers generally have a triangular flap attached to the rear cover of the binding which is tucked under the front cover to protect the outside edge of the pages. The outer covers of this particularly elaborate example feature panels with Koranic inscriptions, interlace patterns, and a central medallion filled with floral and arabesque designs. The inner covers offer a superb example of leather openwork, a leather technique that originated in northeastern Iran in the 1400s.

Notebook details: Japanese bookbinding, black cardboard and regular paper! I considered using good textured paper I have for relief printing, but it was too thick to work properly with Japanese bookbinding and it would have looked awkward too with the black covers being thinner

One nice surprise from all the packing and unpacking I've had to do recently - the lovely needle book @evenicholls.bsky.social made me has resurfaced! As for the thing I still can't find? The box with all the thread in. I have miles of sashiko thread, but no embroidery or bookbinding thread at all.
A quilted fabric needle book, done in gorgeously autumnal fabrics and lined with brown moleskin. It lies half open to show the popper fastening and the eyes of a half-dozen needles. It sits on a green cutting mat that has long ago given up any hope of self-healing.

“When we bound these books … as soon as someone cracks the spine, a book develops a character all its own.” – Pip Williams

Every binding we craft at BOOKFORGE holds that moment of ‘first open’ — where the book becomes alive.

I'll try to get better pictures when it's light out, but I reread Minimelo's "The Wind Will Howl Your Name" a few months ago and decided to bookbind it for my own collection 🥹🥰 I'm so proud of how the typeset came out and the cover is one of my best so far!! #pap3rbinds #bookbinding #fanbind
The front cover of a hand bound book. The cover material is semi-sparkly cardstock with a green/blue watercolor pattern and the words "The Wind Will Howl Your Name" handwritten in silver. The spine of the book is covered in black bookcloth. The last page of the story with a clip art image depicting the sight of a snow-covered cabin through the trees. The image was printed in green and white to match the motifs of the book's accent colors. The first spread of the book. The left page depicts a man and dog trekking through the snow in monochrome green and white, while the right page starts the text of the story. The inner cover page depicting "The Wind Will Howl Your Name" in dark green on a white background.
