Hand bound fanfic!
Fic: 🚬 Rookie Moves🚬 By Peu_A_Peu
Cover and typeset art by the most amazing @faiell
My friend @phoenixortheflame and I cohosted a small artist/binder collab. Each binder collaborated with an artist and committed to creating 2 binds: one for the artist and one for another binder! I also made a cheeky little paperback that I sent to Peu herself!
I typeset this in affinity, designing the chapter headers and title page in Canva. Fai did two large pieces of art, one I was able to use for the title page. Fai also drew 10 little faces that I used for each chapter headers.
Cover is a three piece bradel using duo book cloth. It’s an amazing color shifting cloth. This is mudbath and brick. I keep meaning to record the process of a three piece bradel case, and never do. Next time! I wanted to keep the cover fairly simple, because I knew I’d be making a dust jacket using an additional art piece created by Fai. I wanted SOMETHING for the cover, so asked Fai to make some simple line art that I could cut with my cricut.
End pages are from Hollanders and my friends felt the vibe looked like smoke.
Edges decorated with acrylic ink and faux double core end bands created with my beloved soie perlee.
I had so much fun making this bind and even more fun reading this fic. It’s free to read on AO3!!! This fic is amazing and delightful and silly and you must read it.
Remember kids, keep fanfic free and be kind always.
