Bound: Nothing Gold Can Stay by @moonflower-rose
Yes, again. I bound this for @amandabynds for the same exchange I bound the Summer 2009 series that I posted here. (yes it's all moonflower_rose here all the time)
Okay, so out of the blue one day I decided to google Samspelt, an IKEA figurine that's mentioned in the fic. I've listened or read this fic approximately 394392 times and had not yet done so. And when I did, I had no choice but to buy one off eBay immediately.
So then of course I had to feature him in my binding. But I wasn't sure how. I was very much stuck. But then my dear friend @phoenixortheflame talked it through with me and I decided to make it a fake IKEA catalog page. Which was so fun! Handily, my binding desk is from IKEA, as is my wardrobe, so I made that corner into a little IKEA cover.
This was the photo I ended up using. Even that lamp on the left is from IKEA. And look, all of the books next to Samspelt are MFR binds.
I ended up making my first 3 piece bradel here, too. It enabled me to feature the photo on the cover without worrying about having to line everything up perfectly (like I would have if I'd just printed the whole cover.)
Anyway, I love how it came out! I also sent one to @reveriepi because her podfic of it makes me unhinged.
