I made completely different mistakes this time, which is good while learning a new hobby! I hit a bit of a snag right away - did you know the average black ink cartridge only prints about 200 pages? Because I did not. And then I somehow broke the printer trying to change the ink cartridge (I could swear I had successfully done it in the past, but alas, I am not a tech person), so the reverse side of the pages ended up being printed by a different printer, with slightly different margins, etc. You can see the difference in the picture below. I don’t think it would bother me while reading it, and I decided I wasn’t enough of a perfectionist to reprint it. 

I think the actual binding went pretty well! The spine is straight, I learned from my last project that I need to be careful how I put it in the press. 

I was able to use my cricut so much for this project! I bound the cover in cloth, so I was able to use iron on vinyl for the front and back. I did have to do it over again because I overheated the back the first time, and the planet dissolved away. The second time I had some trouble with the vinyl coming partially away from the fabric (alas, I need more practice), but I was out of fabric and vinyl so I decided to sacrifice the words being even for the picture being clear and went with the second attempt. 

I also used my cricut to do the poem that the title is from in foil on the inside page. I think it looks pretty good! The poem is absolutely perfect for this fic. 

Overall, a good learning experience! I adore this fic, I really enjoyed typesetting it. I don’t have a picture of it, but I found a little planet doodle to use as the section break and I think it looks very cute.
