Making journals for a peaceful mind ✦ ASMR bookbinding process

Deskripsi:

These are rounded spine case bound books that turned out wonderfully. It's been over a year since I tried backing, and felt inspired to try again with my new backing boards. It was challenging without a lying press however. The covers are made with a variation of the 3 piece bradel binding method with commercial book cloth and chiyogami paper. I added cover decorations with stamp embossing. These may be some of the prettiest journals I've made! 0:00 Preparing signatures 2:44 Punching holes 3:52 Sewing French link stitch 6:33 Gluing spine 8:23 Rounding text block 9:05 Gluing 2nd spine 9:53 Tipping on endpapers 10:56 Trimming head and tail 11:46 Backing spine 12:43 Cutting cover boards 13:06 Lining spine 14:50 Preparing cover boards 17:08 Making spine pieces 17:43 Stamp embossing 19:41 Decorating covers 20:31 Assembling covers 21:40 Casing in 25:37 Pressing books 26:01 Completed books
