So, I’ve always wanted to try bookbinding. When I found out about a book of shadows, I saw it as an opportunity! It’s not the best quality, but I kind of like it.
That looks great, good job!
Wow. That’s awesome! You go!
That’s awesome! Good for you
Great job! Book binding is something I’ve been wanting to try as well one day. My current BOS is a large 3 ring binder at the moment.
So cool! My grimoire is a pretty decent representation of me: scattered across a binder and about three other notebooks .
Is this your first try at bookbinding? I’m seriously impressed!
Great job! It looks amazing!
That is great!!!
Very nice!
Love handmade items gives them more of that magickal quality. Your book of shadows looks great, you should be proud!
Love job I love them for their uniqueness to each you. They are gorgeous
For those of you interested in bookbinding, there are lots of videos and sites showing different methods. It takes a little practice and organization, but anyone can learn to do it. The first time never goes as well as you’d like.
Hollanders is a great place to get supplies. I like it better than hobby stores because they have everything and I don’t have to spend an hour hunting down what I want only to learn they’re out of stock.
Embossing and gilding your finished product is much harder I think - I’ll let you know when I master it! It’s fun to make things with your hands because it gives you a real understanding of what it takes and what all goes into it to build and create, rather than buy from amazon or etsy.
Wow, @Bridge- your BoS turned out amazing! Bookbinding looks like a lot of work, but it is so cool to be able to hold a book that you made yourself. Congrats to you!
That is a gorgeous book you have @Torista!
And a big thank you to @anon87969570 for sharing the bookbinding resources- Hollanders has some amazing tools! Looks like everything someone would need to take up bookbinding as a serious hobby or business
Oh wow @anon87969570, I may not make it a business, but another craft to add to my list of DIY. That’s a great link for supplies! Thank you!
