Peeta’s Games; Throwing Sparks; The Mutt; and Back to Twelve - by Igsygrace @igsy-blog & available on AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/8617210?view_full_work=true (Peeta’s Games)

This series is an #everlark Hunger Games retelling from Peeta’s point of view.

This was my contribution to the #AutumnDownunderFicExchange, and my bind for the lovely sleepycat.bindery - https://www.instagram.com/sleepycat.bindery/

Confession - I hadn’t read The Hunger Games yet, and ran to read them first. Then, I started on the Peeta’s Games series, and thought it might be a lil’ short for me to bind since my guestimations are always out of whack. So I thought, I’d bind the set as one. Again, cannot math. So that was going to be too thiccc, but by then I was inundated with ideas, so decided to just bind an entire set 😄.

I also might of got a little carried awayyyy whoops. I had a lottttttt of fun and spent a lotttttt of time creating the designs for the typeset, scene breaks, cover & dust jackets. I tried to do the chapter heading page designs from Peeta’s perspective. I used a mix of Procreate & Canva. I actually had a blast doing the HTV lol. I’ve never weeded so much in my life, but kind of found it thereaputic, and I really like how it turned out.

There were a number of things that made this my first cursed bind(S), the main thing being the textblock cutting/and then my endpaper/board cutting to match this, isn’t perfect by any means, BUT LET’S NOT DWELL ON THAT.
