#edge decorating

My 2024 Renegade Bindery Bound Fic Exchange book, Howl's Twisted Castle by Winrywieldswrenches!

Details under the cut.

Very pleased with the title/drop cap font, Protest by 177 Studio.

Bookcloth is a mysterious red from a group auction buy. It has a funny texture but worked nicely.

Paper on the cover was hand marbled by me!

First time doing edge sprinkling, and first time decorating edges without sanding. I'm very pleased with how it came out! I did have to spend several minutes scrubbing my floor for wild paint sprinkles.

Hand sewn endbands with DMC embroidery floss.

Endpapers (not pictured) are Craft Consortium Ink Drops.

Used Bitter Melon Bindery's casing-in method from this video and it went swimmingly with cardstock endpapers.

Just noticed I typoed the author's name on the title page 🫠

The author is not on Tumblr but was record fast in okaying her fic to bind, and very lovely when I sent photos!
