Let’s bind!

Happy (almost) National Anime Day! (April 15th) For the #AnythingAnimeBindExchange I actually got so lucky and got my co-host, @bindsandvibes! Neither of us thought to put restrictions in to prevent this.

I bound this amazing fic by @fm-white, Labyrinthine! An adorable ItaSaku fic from Naruto, with a great slow burn, good action, and multiple arcs! Everyone should go read it, it's so good!

All art, including the character shots and cover image, is from royalty free sites (iStock, pngtree, pngegg) with some edits from me using Clip Studio Paint.

Materials:

Church Paper in Warm White (short grain)

11x17 printable canvas from PPD

Endpapers from Amazon

Printed on my Epson ET8550

Double sided Satin Ribbon with homemade (by me!) Dango bookcharm

Cover and end page art by @arczism .

Interior art by various tumblr artists (all credited in the bind.) Chapter 4 interior art by @nonmabozs (pictured)

Have I ever read a One Piece fanfic until this exchange? Nope. I have now read several. But it was a blast making this bind because I felt like I got to branch out of the general binding cliché’s I’ve been tied to. It was fun hunting down art from new artists and interact with some other binders that don’t frequent the HP scene. It was also fun trying to mimic the look of a manga book. The only thing I wish I had done differently, was to actually make it the same size as the mangas. Missed opportunity, but that’s okay.

Now that it has safely made it through the storms to the hands of ramblerreneebinds I’m sharing early (Anime Day is April 15) but I want the instant gratification of sharing this fricken awesome bind I did.

Bound for the #AnythingAnimeBindExchange hosted by @ramblerreneebinds and @bindsandvibes
