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.

A bookbinding weekend project! :)
This time a compact planner, recycling pages from an old #zelda calendar.

The #planner is a 2 sections 3 hole binding.

The #endpaper used was an experiment i did last summer trying to make #marbledpaper (although the experiment didn´t went very well)

The template is done with #scribus

Recently i decided to try to make a D&D character sheet booklet, everything has been made from scratch i designed it usiing the #opensource software called #scribus ,then the pattern has been designed using #gimp. And of course i printed and bound it myself. So if anyone in europe wants to buy it, i put it for sale on #kofi (so far i have only one copy): https://ko-fi.com/s/95fdc7e3bd #craft #crafts

rust[ic] books
Small books of rusted cyanotypes made from tea bags with waxed paper bag covers. Making things from what would otherwise just get thrown away is particularly satisfying to me. I look at almost every scrap of paper now and think hmmm… I might be able to use that. I’ve saved candy wrappers a month before finally letting go. There’s a long roll of packing paper in my closet just waiting to be made into a sketchbook, or something. That I will definitely keep.

Last week I made a journal for #Februllage2025 with mixed-media #CansonPaper. It’s a 5-hole saddle-stitch, waxed linen binding with a sample of wallpaper as a cover. This is my favorite kind of journal to make!

I’ve put the list of prompts on one page, it’s a great excuse to use my fountain pens! I plan to make a collaged title page, hopefully before the month is over!

#bookmaking #ArtJournal #HandmadeBook #SaddleStitch

A somewhat shiny journal with orange threads at the spine. The cover is made from a wallpaper sample that’s silver flecked with ivory. A finger is holding it closed.

The list of prompts from an earlier post in this thread. Each prompt is handwritten, several different inks have been used.

A hand is lifting the cover to show there’s a collage added to the page opposite the prompt. Collage is next in thread, fully described.

Another bookbinding experiment, using pages from an old calendar.

Altered Book - Last page!
That's it for this book, I have found a new book to work on but I have not started it yet. I am finishing a project called #myillustratedlife set up by #dannygregory.
I have loved doing an altered book, it is very liberating to deal with a page that already has stuff on it.
Original book: Curiosities of the Plant Kingdom - Reinhardt Hoehn

46 Illustration of a face composed of various green leaves and branches. The leaves form facial features such as eyes, nose, and mouth, giving the appearance of a nature spirit or forest deity.

47 A painting of a large tree with dense green leaves and visible roots, set against a green background. The tree spreads across two pages, creating a symmetrical and serene landscape scene.

Messing around with endband styles this week. This started as learning a Renaissance Chevron style endband but ended in small Xs.

42 An open book displays pages covered in red and orange leaf prints with swirling green patterns. Text from the book is partially visible beneath the artistic overlay, creating a vibrant, autumn-themed collage.

43 A pop-up book opened to a colorful nature scene with a 3D flower emerging from the pages. The background features a big tree and cloudy sky. The pop-up flower has black and white images of leaves.

A project done during Christmas holidays. My first complex multisignature project: a Moleskine like notebook.
I did several mistakes, but I learned a lot, I finally managed to decorate it with Heat Transfer Foil. The most frustrating problem was the twisted elastic (visible in one of the pictures).
