🐢Daily Sea Turtle Fact:🐢

Flatback Sea Turtle: The flatback sea turtle has the smallest range of the seven sea turtles. The species is endemic to the sandy beaches and shallow coastal waters of the Australian continental shelf and does not travel long distances in the open ocean for migrations like other sea turtles. This turtle gets its common name from the fact that its shell has a flattened or lower dome than the other sea turtles.

changed out my earrings for the first time since getting my ears pierced and I don't think I'll ever get used to sliding the earring through the piercing

trade paperback >> hardcover rebind

Since I was trying this for the first time, I decided to use a book that I didn't really care about...so enter the copy of A Christmas Carol that I got from a "free books" shelf in my wanderings around the humanities building.

This was a lot of fun since I already had the text block ready and I just got to focus on doing fancy things to the cover! I covered the page edges with sharpie and then a layer of liquid graphite. Added endbands and cut the original cover to use as a hinge.

I used liquid graphite again to do the painting for the endpapers. The lil painting at the front is based on a woodcut illustration of Victorian London. Cut the window out of the cover board, which was a whole ordeal, and put a piece of plastic behind it, which I painted to look like frosted windowpanes.

Then I decided to stencil the title onto the spine, which was a whole thing (can't believe I cut letters out of paper with a scalpel—and I should have used a stiffer brush or something bc the paint kind of spread, but it was an experiment).

But overall I'm happy with how it turned out! Now I have a cute little book with annotations from the previous own but with a cover that's a lot less ugly (sorry)

process photos under the cut :)

Lots of deliberation on how I was going to get the endpapers glued down and still have my window holes, so I ended up gluing it, putting my phone flashlight behind it to to see the outlines, and then making light cuts to get the paper and not the plastic. I also had to paint the corners of the window holes to match the cloth since it didn't stretch enough to cover completely.

I can't do much these days thanks to early onset arthritis and a total lack of cartilege in my hip. Thank you, hEDS. I bedazzled myself a cane and people keep asking me about it so I've opened an etsy store and now I will have ice cream because I can't drink while taking pain meds. I will fight you if you tell me that ice cream is not medicine.

There are rhinestones lurking all over our dining room. They are not as awful as glitter, which we all know is the VD of craft supplies.

I use only crystal flatback rhinestones which cost more than glass or resin, but have much better sparkle. It's hard to photograph the sparkle and shimmer, at least it is for me, with an iphone, but you can see it in the videos. So. Um. *taps feet* I don't know what I am doing exactly. Most canes are bespoke, or made to order. What if no one ever buys one? Well, obviously I'll be fine and I'll have my hip replaced with a karaoke microphone looking thing. The ball part kind of looks like BB-8's head.

wtf did it put the word shop in the link thinger photo? UGH. One cool thing though. If you have a cane people get right out of your way. People can be so nice sometimes. I feel bad because I'm really slow these days and they have to stand there while I tortoise by. I try to make them go first, but some won't do it.

What they don't tell you about having a nose piercing is that it feels like I have a dangly booger just in there and I have to just Leave It Be bc I'm not supposed to touch the area at all if I can help it
