Now that the book has been delivered, I can share photos! into the wild blue by @andfasterthings (aka honeydripping on ao3), the author copy! My copy is still sitting in my desk awaiting my latest crochet project’s completion XD
The illustrations were free from Heritage Library, a personal favorite source for images. The HTV was pretty challenging to weed but I think it turned out well enough. (I did notice the missing tittle in the author copy, seconds before I was about to seal it in an envelope—just in time for a quick fix!
More photos/commentary/stuff under the cut!
I have a new metadata page layout! I’m enjoying all the space. The chapter pages were tough to get aligned right—both the first and last content pages needed to be on odd pages, so I had to do some finagling. Got it done, though!
Some in-progress shots! I feel like I’ve gotten a lot more responsible lately, I’ve only just started labeling my boards XD
The ink drops endpapers are a godsend. Favorite collection of printed papers, easily. The next photo is the basic typeset—this one is set entirely in IM Fell Great Primer.
And finally, the open-down-the-middle shot, one I love to include. The spine throw! The way the boards nestle! And my most even endbands to date. And the way the paper lays so nicely, even though they’re short grain! Gorgeous!!
I want to be like her when I grow up! #polecontrol #loveyoself #honeyonthat #honeydripping Dear Handspring Queen, aka @tinkshortnsweet …How Girl? Like How? You just make it look so Easy!!!

Finished piece. Waiting for the honey to crystallize to see how this beauty will set. It will probably go to hell, oh well. #paintingwithhoney #paintingprocess #bernini #honeydripping #experimentingwithpaint
