#marbling

Marbled endpaper. 1776.

I bound this for a friend as a gift. I designed the dust jacket inspired by the cover for Atmosphere. My incredible friend aysenicat (on ig) did the artwork of Sirius.

I kept the physical cover simple since the dust jacket was so much the star. I hand sewed the end bands and painted the edges with acrylic ink. I marbled the end pages. The lovely typeset is by @moonysbookshelves

Project Hail Mary themed paper marbling today! I went through a lot of trial and error and I still think the Petrova effect could be better, but I had to stop because I ran out of red paint. Pretty happy with Adrian though.

Also here's some astrophage! I, in fact, made the dots all squiggly by poking them with a syringe, which was fun (it was what I was using to drop the paint onto the surface).
