This is my 2024 Renegade Bindery Exchange story and I just recently was able to get the author's copy to them! So now I get to post!

This is a Witcher fic so I wanted to really lean into the sort of Medieval vibes of it. And it just so happened that my local book arts center was teaching a class on Medieval bookbinding this past fall. So, I took it, and incorporated some of the techniques into this binding. This book is sewn on duel sets of cord which are then pulled through holes in the boards to attach the text block to the boards.

The cover design was inspired by Jaskier's journal in the story; it was said to have a blue cover, look roughly hand made, and had some fun design elements for its cover art. So I did my best to make Jaskier proud. Ever since I started making books I have wanted to do something to pay homage to old medieval illuminated books. And while I didn't have the time to go full monk on this I did spend many many hours doing my best to draw a number of illustrations in what I hope is a fitting style to add to the book.

I incorporated a number of flowers into many of the images. Folks familiar with the source material will likely already know of Jaskier also being referred to as Dandelion (so of course they make a big appearance in the type set), but the author for this story also gave him siblings and they all got associated flowers as well. So, as the story progresses and you find out about them I started incorporating their flowers into the designs as well.

I tried to find what I hope is the least offensive of an old style of font for the main body text. I found it legible so I hope that is true for everyone else. Many thanks to my exchangee for introducing me to this story!🌾🐺

There is a photographer in our town that works for a local news feed just for our town (which I'm 90% sure is volunteer run) and I see him sometimes at things. He usually covers the town halls, school board meetings, he was taking photos at Juneteenth last year. Basically he's everywhere and I'm also everywhere, so we cross paths often.

But he also does a thing called 'My Final Photo,' which is just random day to day stuff happening in town that he thinks is cool enough to snap a photo of. Like... ongoing construction of the new buildings, when the crocuses come out, a bird landing on a lamppost. Stuff like that. He's a really talented photographer.

The Final Photo for yesterday was kind of awesome but I don't think he knows how much the caption contributed:

Because that is both

a. sick as hell

b. perfect encapsulation of the childhood experience.

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

Tfw when men do that thing where they pretend they have no control over their temper. LOL It’s so funny like am I supposed to pretend that I don’t know you’re completely self-aware and present during this rage performance. Or should I pretend you’re the tortured hero in a movie, possessed by a series of fabricated flashbacks of the war and your father

Hey!!! Trying to find a fic I kept seeing recs for but never got around to but not I'm hooked on Single dad Stiles and Derek coming in spoiling him and his babies. I kept seeing one where Stiles has a baby with another alpha? I don't have anymore details but do you know of that one or any like that? Thank you in advance, love!

Hello friend! o/

Sorry, I don't read in the fandom so I am not the best person to ask. I would recommend trying @wheredidhiseyebrowsgo or @christinesficrecs as they are both really good blogs for finding lost fics.

Or if anyone who sees this happens to recognize this fic, please let anon know in the replies. Thank you!

I decided to clean up the galaxy dragon I did as part of my Yowza promises.

She's here on Teepublic, Threadless, and Redbubble if you'd like to have some pretty space stuff.

In the animal kingdom, humans are viewed like witches/warlocks: they MIGHT help you benevolently in your time of need, or they might eat you alive, or they might save you but keep you forever. So you know just how serious things are when they say to you, "Go get a human."

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
