Book 62 was a late holiday gift for @drgrlfriend , their wholesome and heartwarming soulmate fic My Heart Will Be Your Home (free to read on ao3)! My second time weaving an endband, and I’m really happy with the dot effect it made.

Fic: Something Reckless by @millenni-em-tauk
Fandom: Witch Hat Atelier | For: em, the author herself <3
Book #12 is for a brand-new fandom, and reading it got me so hype I went back and caught up on the entire manga in an wild insomniac blitz over four days - PLEASE READ IT. Em is a superb writer and it's truly an honor to count her among my friends, as she is unflappably considerate and smart. She is also so talented: not only did she write this fic, she drew all the illustrations!
This book was my first all-Duo book (in Mudbath) - Duo really is a pleasure to work with, which made it all the more frustrating when I fucked up the margins on the case and foiled that giant golden eye off-center. Boo! But since I refuse to turn in B+ work, especially for Em, I tossed out the case and made another - much better this time (I free-handed the little frills hanging off the tassels BOTH TIMES. Please clap.) This was also my first time chisel-trimming the block; I like how it turned out, but the power sander sings quite the siren song...
Another design note: Witch Hat Atelier is about magic that is hand-drawn, with a focus on runes/glyphs; every rune or glyph has its own unique effect/element. For every chapter, I used a different rune /glyph as the section break (nine total) for funsies.
Font is Perpetua, with accents in Song of coronos and Kristi. I am starting to see the value in chapter pages having no header or footer (notes for next time.) Endpapers are Italian letterpress marble in azure/gold from Hollander's.
Book 24 ✅ is so special!! Happy birthday @there-must-be-a-lock 💜 thank you for building such an amazing community 💜 this bind uses the incredible art by @wyxan which really brings it all together. It’s my first three piece bradel, and my second attempt at sewn headbands. If It’s A Highway, its alt POV companion i've got a bulletproof heart, you've got a hollow-point smile, and its in-progress sequel This is a Map of My Heart are free to read on ao3.
Fic: A River in Egypt, by @nenya85 Fandom: Yugioh!
[kaiba voice] MIRU KA II! ENDPAPERS FROM JOANN'S!! WAHAHA!!
Nenya is an icon in Yugioh fandom - and an adored friend <3 It was time she got to hold a hard copy of all her hard work in her hands. Working on these books over the past few weeks has brought me insane joy, and I'm so proud of how these turned out - they are #5 and #6 in my current book tally, and I learned a pile while working on them.
The covers are silk moire in black, gold, and a sandy white, while the blue is Japanese book cloth. The body of this text is set in 10.5 point Perpetua font, with accents in Skandal and Aquifer.

Handmade Writer-Themed Gifts: Yes, I Craft!
I adore crafting and wanted to show y’all a few writing-themed presents I made for a friend!
One is an actual writer’s block. (Gosh, I love a pun.)
The other is something I made up. I wanted a positive spin on writer’s block because, honestly, the idea of not writing is sad to me. So, to counter it, I made a thinking cube!
There are concave buttons on two sides to fit her…
