Barbie in the Nutcracker (2001)

I'm never going to get all these steps right, Barbie! If we keep practicing, you will. But what if I freeze out there, in front of everybody? You've just got to find the courage to try. Like Clara! Clara? From the ballet?

I've bound my first book!!

This is an octavo sized hardcover of Cicada Sings Amongst Bamboo by @shadaras!

I didn't want my Tiny Books Bang assignment to be my first attempt at binding, so I reached out to Shadaras and typeset this fic to be the same page size as that typeset. It really did help to have another fic to practice on before moving on to the Tiny Books Bang books, and I'm excited to have this fic as the start of my collection. It really fits the vibe of a lot of my taste in fic... I definitely plan to bind a lot more canon divergence and rarepairs in the future!

I will also be working on an author's copy of this bind, it is just put on hold until FFWAD is sent off! I'll be able to fix a few minor issues, particularly the size of the book boards (these ones are a little too wide for the textblock).

The bookcloth is homemade from a piece of fabric that's been in my stash for years (too small for a lot of things) and I found the endpapers recently! I was also able to sew head/endbands, which turned out better than I had expected. I originally wanted to add a ribbon bookmark, but I ended up deciding that the ribbon I had was too wide.

I'm also really happy with how the typeset turned out for this! I had to adjust the title page several times to fix issues with the margins, but it was worth it. I also found some great public domain images to reference the title on the title page and the beginning of the story (since this is a one shot!)

My favorite spread is pages 68 & 69! It shows off so much of my formatting, including the section dividers and the shaded background for letters (copied from the original fic on AO3). But what I really love is on page 69: "a gap full of ink drops and dried scratches!"

Altogether I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I'm excited to make another copy 💜
