#rebinding

My printer is on the fritz and I was woe-is-me-ing for a while about not being able to bind fics, when I suddenly realized that I don't need a printer to do a fancy rebind! I already owned The Martian, and had been wanting to read Project Hail Mary, so I got that in paperback also and -- voila! -- a matching set of fancy rebinds! More details under the pics.

This was a customer rebind commission made for one of the winning bidders of my items donated to the #unboundforgaza auction.

On top of being so generous, Sofia so lovely and I cant thank her enough for donating to such an important cause. Thank you again for letting me work on this for you.

A while back, I rebound a copy of a HP book that I found in a little free library and then put it back for someone to find. To protect future generations, I renamed the author and fixed the bio.

It was fun, so I decided to do it with the whole set, but now I'm not sure I want to separate them, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Again, I didn't line any transphobe's pockets with this project, I bought the used books off thriftbooks.com.

I decided I wanted to make them look "grown up".

I stenciled the designs on the covers and I can't believe I didn't fuck anything up!!!!!

I am especially fond of the coordinating endpapers:

Oh, and I had fun removing all references to the author. (Not just on the title page, anywhere it was printed.)

Details:

Endpapers are all from various Ink Drops sets by Craft Consortium.

The font used on the spines and covers is Rig Shaded Zero Extrude.
