Now that MTH is over, I have some binds to share!
First up is Starving for the Light by @thepartyresponsible. I made two binds of this, one for @drgrlfriend and one for me, because we both made art for this fic during the WHOB and I thought she might appreciate a copy :)
The bookcloth for Dr.G's copy is Duo "mudbath" (horrible name for a beautiful cloth) - this is a dual-colored cloth that skews different colors depending on the angle - red, blue, or purple! The endpapers are from Sustain & Heal on Etsy in dark purple, and the cover is done in bronze, light pink, and blue metallic HTV. The flower on the front is a snowdrop, which felt especially fitting, and the butterfly on the back is a nod to Clint's fairytale princess moment.
The bookcloth for my copy is the Japanese Asahi in iridescent violet from Oregon Art Supply, and the endpapers are also from Sustain & Heal on Etsy, this time in light purple! This cloth also has a dual-tone, though it shinier and almost silk-like in texture and the color varigation is much more prominent. I kept my own cover monochrome because the cloth itself is so colorful and bright, so it's all silver foil HTV, and I left the quote off the back because to be quite frank I got tired of trying to keep the dots on the 'i''s!!
The typeset was fun to do! I included both Dr.G's moodboard as a title page, and the two pieces of art that I did for the fic within the book itself (the butterfly art is at the end of chapter 7, and the artwork featuring their hands is at the end of the story). The font for the Title and the chapter titles is called 'Magic Butter' 😂, and the font for the page numbers and headers is called 'Magic Pies', both of which felt hilariously fitting. At the beginning of the chapters I used a watercolor motif and each chapter has a different flower in black and white, except for the Epilogue, which features a full-color poppy (mainly because it's my favorite flower). The title page art is a stock image from Affinity. I used butterflies for body breaks, because obviously I have a thing for the butterflies in the story.
I am once again reminding @thepartyresponsible that if you want a copy of this bind [or any other I have made], just let me know, I am happy to make and send it to you! (Though I'm out of the Asahi book cloth).
