Binderary 2024: Week 1

In the Renegade Bindery Discord Server, we are once again running Binderary during the month of February. Attendance is free, and a link to the 18+ Discord Server can be found on our carrd.

Whether you’re new to the world of bookbinding or an aged veteran, join us for a month of binding fun! This event is all about community & learning, be it trying something new or refining existing skills.

All our workshops are run by members of our fanbinding community, and some of them are even on Tumblr!

I'm on a restock kick! A new edition of Hellfire is now available, this time with a golden eye and a different endband.

Eye really like sewing endbands.

This is one of the first leatherbound books I ever made! This design spawned the whole idea of doing a Necromancer collection. I still have it and love to compare my progress in binding against it.

Christmas for Necromancers!

A lot of the journals I make are inspired by DnD classes. This one is part of a 5-book collection that was created to look like spellbooks for a necromancer.

Dragon's Call! A place to keep track of your many adventures!

This style of bookbinding always reads as a ledger to me, so I went with the idea of an DnD adventurer's log book. I thought the grain on the leather was a nice companion to the dragon pattern.

The end pages are lokta paper with brown and gold paint sprinkled on for extra sparkle!

First post on Tumblr. I have no idea what I'm doing, but hey, here's a picture of some books I made!
