He is..... complete. Oh my god that was SO much work but honestly so worth it for the natural fur variation effect. I've once again mucked up the face so he's got a weird little smirk BUT this time around I'm finally happy with the paws, so clearly I'm learning things :] I also understuffed him just a bit, I think it kept him from being quite as bowlegged as the first one.

bonus: you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

I did a faux rebind of Dune as a birthday gift for a friend of mine. Thankfully, his girlfriend sent me pictures of his own Dune Edition (in German) and its measurements. That way he can use this book sleeve for the German edition too. He’s been complaining about that design for quite a while, basically every time we enter a book store.

I also hand-stitched this little desert design into the book cloth, because I don’t own a cricut lol

And here is how it works:

Here’s the tutorial by bindrebindery on ig

And here's the tutorial for all the tiktok kids

She's been a huge help throughout my adventures in rebinding books, and straight up just deserves more recognition.

Happy Dannopocalyse :)

Using my evil powers to make Danno cookie cutters, and the power of friendship to wrangle my friends into helping me test them. They were very tasty.

Folly's mask :3

I got bored so I made folly from regretevator mask why because why not and I don't know how I even did so but I messed up with the black paint so I just hope to god it will look ok and it's fine not my favorite but made it from boredom

(the reason why it looks backwards because the mask was made to be wear so when you put it on its facing the right way)

Yeah I don't think anyone will see this lol

BONUS a random blurry picture of a drawing I did of folly on a band aid for some dumb reason

More Alex lore because I’m coping 🙃🙃🙃

The only Halloween costumes he remembers wearing from childhood are a traffic light and a Duracell battery AND he had to make them himself and still thinks they were so cool

These are the most Alexander Rossi halloween costumes I could possibly think of. Ofc he was a fucking battery, what else would he be? And ofc he had to make them himself.

The image of Alex's tall lanky ass as a traffic light...yeah. That tracks.

A Bright Ray of Darkness by Ethan Hawke is definitely one of my favorite books this year and one of my all time favorite audiobooks.

It took me a while to decide on a design for the rebind though. I think I made 8 designs in total until I finally settled on this one. I wanted to incorporate the burnt match, as well as the smoke from the original cover but filling the empty space around that alone proved difficult.

To fill that empty space, I added the title and finally, as I was trying to figure out a design for the back cover and watching this production of Henry IV on YouTube, another idea came to me.

A central plot point is a production of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, so I designed a little playbill for the back. And to tie both the front and the back design together I put some of Hotspur’s (our protagonist’s role in the play) dialogue on some scrap book cloth with a hot foil quill and added a "burnt edge" in gold vinyl.

I’m totally in love with it, not just because I love shiny things.
