#vcm binds

Hi! This is my very first bookbind!

It's a softcover french link stitch journal, with blank pages to scribble in and a very nice decorated light blue and gold cover!

This is my bookbinding of the fantastic fic series Twelve days of clonemas by rook (jsunday)

(The wonderful @rooksunday here on tumblr)

It was my very first time binding a fanfiction and I am super happy about how it turned out! Thank you rooksunday for giving me permission!

Everybody if you love Clones and Christmas you should check it out!

I wanted a light Christmas-sy feeling but nothing too overwhelming since this is a series primarly about clones. I think that the single decorated stripe on all (Corrie) red has just the right balance.

It is in "A Format" book measurements (17.8×11 cm) which is a format that I have not heard about much in tutorials (I think because they mostly use USA paper sizes) but is very popular in my country for slim books (we call them pocketable books) so it felt natural to use.

I am also proud of the endbands choice...I can't get a good photo but they are red and light yellow exactly like the decorated paper stripe which is a very nice parallel!

This is my bookbinding of Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. It's also my first attempt at a case bound book and all in all it turned out alright!

It's not very clear in the photo but the green cover paper is embossed giving it a very nice feeling to the touch!

Here it is! This is my second bookbinding project: a Coptic stitch bind of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens!

I chose an A5 format and I love how it turned out, especially the cover paper!
