Aug 2023, bookbinding of The Silent Isle Imbowers by Tharkuun.

I’m sooo so so pleased to finally share this! I have been actively working on this for many months and waited until Tharkuun received her copy before posting so the final result would be a surprise.

-----------About this bookbinding under the cut

This binding has been one of the more elaborate pieces I have attempted so far. This has been my first binding where I (1) made three copies of a piece at once, (2) used a modified a historical illustration, (3) collaborated directly with another artist on the decorative elements, (4) finished matching art for the cover and title page, and (5) layered paint and heat-transfer vinyl for the covers. These are also (6) the first non-tiny books I have made with this style of hinge and cover attachment.

Pretty much immediately after I first read this story I felt I had to make myself a copy of this. I had a strong mental image of a vintage-looking cover for a fairy tale, with a deceptively simple design of flowers on the cover, probably with fancy metallic accents, the kind of thing you’d find in an interesting used bookstore with no summary, no text on the back, no dust jacket, just the flowers and maybe a title. I’m going to make a separate post about making this cover design a reality because oh man has it been a journey lol! I designed and drew the digital art for the cover (digital because of the cut and application method), as well as the corresponding title page illustration (pencil and dip pen, scanned, title added digitally).

When I asked Tharkuun about it she was excited to suggest I get in touch with quillingwords, who generously agreed to collaborate with me! Among her talents quilling writes calligraphy, and hand wrote both the book title and chapter headers for me to incorporate into my plans. Check OUT those chapter headers! So fancy! A font could never!! Quilling has also been very encouraging and let me yell about this project in dms for months so the final result could be a surprise for Tharkuun. Thank u so much quillingwords, your calligraphy adds invaluable amounts of swag to this project.

I was going to do some kinda neat font for the chapter headers, but quilling’s work is too cool for that and I decided to use a modified piece of a historical illustration instead. The illustration also happens to be cool as heck: I was browsing the Artstor database (an academic quality resource available for free via Jstor, my beloved) and found E. N. Neureuther's 1836 gorgeous etching for etching of the fairy tale Briar Rose, an illustration made for a printing of a Brothers Grimm recorded German fairy tale with Sleeping Beauty elements. Much to my delight this illustration not only matches the general look I wanted but is actually relevant to the story, itself a Sleeping Beauty spinoff.

Slightly less stylistically consistent are the endpapers, which are prints of two different paintings by Arnold Böcklin: Isle of the Dead (1883) in the front and Isle of Life (1888). The first painting had occurred to me as an excellent visual to go with the story, and Tharkuun and I discussed this and agreed that pairing it with the related later, more optimistic piece was too thematically appropriate to resist.

I had fun and learned a lot making these books and I am very pleased with the result!!

house rules

technically I am not strictly 18+ only. I do tag 18+ content under nsfwish or 18+ or nudity. if you aren't comfortable with me following you let me know and I can unfollow or you can just block me

however I reserve the right to block anyone for any reason and not have to explain myself. we're all strangers on the internet. chill

if we aren't mutuals please don't send me or comment nsfw content, especially on or about posts that arent nsfw in nature.

if I reblogged an ask game or a writing prompt list please feel free to send me something. don't feel like you can't just if we aren't mutuals I love to hear from folks I'm not mutuals with :3

post with details about reader fic

blank blogs are getting block+reported. it's nothing personal but can't afford to risk a bot following me. PLEASE give yourself a fun funky icon or something to denote real life

feel free to ask me to tag something if it bothers you and I'll see what I can do :3

now I've got more info and fun stuff below

-> immolationfox

i linked to it earlier but this is my ao3. it's kind of my catch-all, typically I cross post everything and if it's not on my tumblr its definitely on my ao3

-> 100 word drabble challenge

im doing a challenge where you send me one of these available hundred words and I'll write a one hundred word drabble. if you give me your ao3 I can gift it to you there.

-> Fandom + ship list

this is by no means extensive, it's a constant work in progress, and intially started with the intent of being used in tandem with the 100 word challenge but mostly i wanted to sort things and make a list. if you know I've blogged about them before but it's not on the list you can dm me or shoot me an ask and we can verify

-> tags

personal posting. basically anything thats not a shitpost or fandom related. often pretty venty. tagged for the purpose of blacklisting if u don't wanna see it

ardelleverse. tag for my fantasy wip I'm theoretically writing. been in the works for 5+ years. haven't finished a single rough draft. it's fineeee

dameronalone reader fic. this is gonna be what you're gonna want to blacklist if you aren't interested in reading my reader fic. I'll be posting all of my fics under this tag. however right now I don't have a tag for reader fics I reblog. I'll update this list if I make one

i tag most stuff by either fandom ship or character. I try to make sure I'm tagging gifsets with flashing gifs by using the tag flashing gif. I post about star wars, poe dameron, disability, autism, history, art, and my friends + whatever else I'm thinking about

🌙🧡��💥
