Binding Synoverse

I've reread @wingedcat13's Synoverse stories so many times that I decided I needed a copy I could carry around. So here it my first attempt. I'm definitely going to make another copy/version once Tell No Lies is finished :)

I decided to keep the endpapers a simple black and the cover a basic blue and then go wild with some shadow tentacles for the title. I also couldn't quite resist adding in the artwork that people have shared at the appropriate points in the story because it's all so wonderful.

If you have no idea what this is and would like to read a great story about an extremely likeable villain, I highly recommend it. It's on AO3 here.

Case time!

Today I turned some very pretty space fabric into bookcloth and finally made a case! Now it's drying and I need to figure out how I want to title it.

Finally finished my first book!

I made my own bookcloth and went with a metallic cardstock that coordinated well for the endpapers. I really love how it turned out! And I definitely learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. Painting the title was definitely a pain and I'm now more tempted than ever to get a cutting machine.

The story is A Curious Carriage of Crystal and Cold by @etharei which is a Cherik Space Opera that has lived in my head since the first time I read it and which I go back and read frequently enough that when I decided to try my first fanbinding project it was the first story to come to mind.

Definitely excited to try some other favorite fics so I can add them to my bookshelf.
