The Saffron Soul by BeautifuFiction [A Fanbinding]

I am incredibly happy with how this bind turned out, especially how nicely the different gold elements tied together in the end.

The book measures 8.5 in x 6 in and is right around 2 inches thick, and the fic itself is 673 pages long.

This one involved 5 or 6 firsts for me as a bookbinder, including a binding technique I've never tried before (K118). One unique aspect of K118 books is the ability to open it a full 360 degrees! And while I definitely have some room for improvement in a few areas on this method, this book can successfully do open all the way!

A big thank you to @the-pen-pot for giving permission to share this bind and for writing such a wonderful fic. 💖

Reblogging this because I finally got around to putting it up on AO3 as well.

Finally getting around to posting this. 😅

A little while ago, I got into bookbinding as a way to immortalize and have physical copies of some of my favorite fanfics. So, I made a hard copy of one of my all-time favorite Legend of Zelda fics: Sands of Time by tirsynni

And while most of the fics I bind are going to be personal copies that I keep, this one now belongs to @tirsynni! It's awesome when I am in a position to give something back to authors who have put so much time and effort into my favorite stories they've shared with readers for free. 🥰

WOW!!!! This is gorgeous 🥰 Congratulations on your epic skills. The fact that you did stitching too? The patience!

I'm stunned!
