#drifting together
It took about three months, from typesetting to the final pressing, but I’ve finished binding my trilogy Drifting Together! I was a bit ambitious with this project and paid for it in lots of small alignment mistakes . These books were my first attempts at:
- Printing on fabric
- Sewing together multiple pieces of fabric into a cover (tricky, lots of math, but necessary because my printer wouldn’t take anything larger than letter sized)
- Embroidered covers
- Making bookcloth
- Translucent vellum title pages
- Embroidered faux headbands
- Chisel trimming books
The beautiful illustrations are pieces I commissioned from @kurxo way back in 2020. I was, perhaps, a little optimistic about how soon I’d be starting this project.
