500 Years of Indigenous Resistance by Gord Hill

Sixteen years after it was originally published in the first issue of the revolutionary Indigenous newspaper OH-TOH-KIN, 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance remains an important and relevent history of the colonization of the Americas and the resistance to it.

And lastly, a soft cover notebook. I'm no good at painting, so all I painted was a simple pattern. Regardless, I loved how this turned out too. It's my second book that I've bound so far, and I already have quite a few bookbinding projects planned! :artaww:

(Also, most of my Christmas presents to others turned out blue-ish just out of coincidence 😂)

Circe by Madeline Miller - Spooky Halloween Rebind

Here is a recent rebind of a thrifted paperback of Circe. I went for a color scheme that felt more spooky and Day-of-Dead-like. The cover is entirely hand foiled. Bookcloth used is faux leather from Hollanders.

Another #bookbinding project from last week.
This time was just making a daily planner from #softcover to #hardcover and making it looks little bit nicer.
As usual the full story is on my free #ko-fi post: ko-fi.com/post/Upgrading-a-che

The original cover was glued to the endpages, luckily with the help of a heat gun, was very easy to remove,
Here pictures of the before and after.

This time i tried to make an embossed cover frame, with decorative items (rivets, gold foil, book corners). And although few imperfection, results are much better than previous attempts. Here few pics from both projects.

A project I'm working on is making a hardcover D&D Character Sheet Book. Since I need to learn and test new decoration techniques, I´m going through a series of experimental-bindings to familiarise with them. Below few pictures, although I had few problems (for more info check my free #kofi post here: ko-fi.com/post/My-attempt-in-m) I think is coming out nicely.

Hozier Lyric Book

Trimmed the edges, sacrificed some blood to the bookbinding gods, sewed endbands, and printed the end papers and cover. So far it’s my most successful book trimmed using only a chisel.
Original typeset by me. It includes the newest song “Hymn to Virgil”.

Ubik by PKD

📺⏰⏳

I went all out on this one. It was a LOT of work: Hand painted end papers, original cover design, original typeset (made in MS Word), custom vintage advertisements, hand sewn endbands, and chisel-trimmed fore edge.

And when all was said and done, I found a glaring typo while flipping through the finished product. 😮‍💨

Oh well. It happens.

A book titled Ubik is shown against a blue-green background. The book is open in such a way that the entire hard cover is on display. The book is wrapped in canvas that is printed with a colorful design. The design background is a peach yellow. The front cover shows a flat painted image of a spray can labeled “Ubik” depicted in vibrant colors of green, pink, red, and blue, but the image is purposefully distorted, as if misprinted and smeared. The spine title and back cover illustration are similarly distorted. The back cover shows what looks like a vintage advertisement for Ubik, but the text is blurred to the point of unreadability. The only readable text is at the top, which is written in red cursive: GOOD AS NEW. The book Ubik front cover has been opened to display the front end paper. The end paper is hand painted in bright and vibrant colors of yellow, green, blue, gold, copper, and red. The colors swirl like smoke, blending into each other. The book is opened and turned to the table of contents page. The contents page is designed as a grid of squares, each labeled with the chapter number and the page range of those chapters. For example, chapter 8 ranges from page 122 to 141. Also within each square is a black circle with a white icon inside each. The icons show different objects, such as a toaster, a bra, a bank, a bowl of cereal, etc. Looking at the top edge of the book, we can see a close up of the hand sewn endband that sits at the top of the book’s spine. The endband is sewn in shiny brown cotton thread.
