Ficbinding: Thirty-Three Lashes by Winglesss
This was my ficbinding project for the 2022 Renegade Bindery Exchange. The fic has a lot of horror elements, both regarding Lan Wangji's curse and with the modern casefic portion of the fic, and I decided to lean into them for the book design (possibly because I started this project in October).
The cover is made with layered paper cutouts (cut by sawing with the edge of a knife, to get a rougher look) in three different textured papers. The endpapers are the same red paper I used on the cover, with suminagashi marbling and backed with black. I used black leather for the endbands and dark red leather for the spine.
