Tazhib – iranska umjetnost ukrašavanja knjiga ili rukopisa

“Zarnegar” ili “Tazhib” je tradicionalna iranska umjetnost ukrašavanja knjiga ili rukopisa. Ova umjetnost zahtijeva ogromnu preciznost i smirenost, s obzirom da su crteži minijaturnih razmjera. (balkanin.net)

Now that I am somewhat recovered from Covid-19 and have moved back to my own place, I’m planning to re-post the previous works I had posted at my main blog @valiha . This is so I have them all in one place, and so that they can serve as a reference to the design choices and material options for anyone who might be interested in commissioning me.

I’m binding fics mostly for myself and for favorite authors, but I’m also happy to work with anyone who would like a favorite fic handbound, as long as it’s a finished product with approval from the writer (and artist, if one did any illustrations for the work) that will be shipped once bound.

I’m currently CLOSED for commissions as I currently have several projects in various stages of completeness, as well as more work obligations in October. Commissions should open again in November, though you can still send inquiries.

You can check out the bookbinding materials I have: bookcloth is for the spine, and papers for the boards I use single color heavier paper as endpapers.

I have no limits when it comes to the word count, fandom, or pairing. I do reserve the right to decline a work that crosses a personal discomfort level. Please state which fic you would like to have bound when you message me, as that will help me calculate the correct rate.
