My edition of Modern Love by Tacky Tiger- This is an amazing Drarry story that can be read for free on AO3.
What did I achieve? I accomplished several things with this binding, the one I'm most proud of is that I managed to rounded and backed the spine. Also, I used linen to make the book cloth and I think it turned out well. It's the first time I applied HTV on linen, and I liked the result. I haven't placed the title and the author on the spine yet, I think I will do it by gluing a label. What can I improve? The end paper didn't look good, in fact, I'm thinking about reapplying it.
I must improve the backing, as I think I hit the block too hard with the hammer. Oops! What should I learn? I'm not sure when to guillotine the text block so that it looks good when I curve the spine. I sew it's before curving it, but since I use a looser stitch, I don't know if it will be alright.
The book feels good in my hands, the texture of the linen is nice, and the size is comfortable. The curved spine looks beautiful on my shelf.
This copy is for my personal use only, remember if you want a copy you can always learn how to bind. It's not rocket science!
