Silver and Copper By @heronfem

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!🌾🐺

yeah, this is my pet knight, she's a rescue. i gave her a brief act of mercy and she followed me home and sat outside my door to guard me from intruders. she swore her undying allegiance to me in exchange for a gift of grace and now she sleeps at the foot of my bed and weeps when im late coming home. and yeah, she only eats wet food because she's a snob, also.
