A small update on my previous #moleskine #bookbinding post.

On the bottom part of the front cover there was a small stain (caused probably by the glue) that didn't look very nice, so i decided to attempt to cover it with metal decorations (small gears). I think that this addition, not only hid the stain, but it make it look better.

D&D Character Sheet again!
I've made two hardcover sheets finally with decent results. As usual the full story is on my free #kofi post: ko-fi.com/post/More-Dungeons-a
This time i tried to make an embossed cover frame, with decorative items (rivets, gold foil, book corners). And although few imperfection, results are much better than previous attempts. Here few pics from both projects.

A project I'm working on is making a hardcover D&D Character Sheet Book. Since I need to learn and test new decoration techniques, I´m going through a series of experimental-bindings to familiarise with them. Below few pictures, although I had few problems (for more info check my free #kofi post here: ko-fi.com/post/My-attempt-in-m) I think is coming out nicely.

A bookbinding weekend project! :)
This time a compact planner, recycling pages from an old #zelda calendar.

The #planner is a 2 sections 3 hole binding.

The #endpaper used was an experiment i did last summer trying to make #marbledpaper (although the experiment didn´t went very well)

The template is done with #scribus

Recently i decided to try to make a D&D character sheet booklet, everything has been made from scratch i designed it usiing the #opensource software called #scribus ,then the pattern has been designed using #gimp. And of course i printed and bound it myself. So if anyone in europe wants to buy it, i put it for sale on #kofi (so far i have only one copy): ko-fi.com/s/95fdc7e3bd #craft #crafts

A project done during Christmas holidays. My first complex multisignature project: a Moleskine like notebook.
I did several mistakes, but I learned a lot, I finally managed to decorate it with Heat Transfer Foil. The most frustrating problem was the twisted elastic (visible in one of the pictures).
