Thanks!!! I am quite pleased with how this one turned out

Wizard 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. #bookbinding

Paused #bookbinding for a hot minute to do a commissioned book design, but behold! Wizard of Oz is sewn and chilling in the press while the first layer of spine glue dries.

Persuasion is done!!! Flex cover with thick bookcloth, gold headbands, and decorative corner protectors because the book cloth was contrary. #bookbinding

Persuasion is in the vice press while the spine dries, which means it's time to start printing the next one. Gonna attempt edge decorating on this. #bookbinding

On to sewing Persuasion. Not as vibrant as Emma, but still pretty.

Guess who finished binding Emma 💜 Bound in 3 volumes, as originally published. Book cloth cover, paste paper interior, cloth end bands. Each volume has a different pattern on the paste paper.

It's paste paper day again. Got some textured rollers as an experiment; am quite enjoying them so far. #bookbinding #pastepapers #paperarts

Repaired my first bible. Learned how to do rounded corners, a semi-soft cover with book cloth, and an oxford hollow. Feels like some sort of bookbinding milestone. #bookbinding #bookrepair #biblerepair

Second batch of paste papers going in the press. The colors for these were chosen with more intention than the last batch, to match the typeset and book cloth of my next six projects. #bookbinding #bookdesign

Printing signatures! Gonna be a tiny book - only 5 sigs, and only 4 sheets/sig - but it's a good one. #bookbinding #bookdesign #typeset

Got my new printer installed, ran a few test prints. Haven't fiddled with paper profiles yet but it's already leagues better than what I was working with before. #bookbinding #bookdesign #typesetting

Worked this morning on arranging the #bookbinding space a little. I found a free workbench that will allow me to move book cloth production downstairs.
