I bind books! Not for profit/just for fun.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’m doing a giveaway since it’s been a while!
I’m a hobbyist bookbinder and I sometimes make paperback and hardback books. Usually fanbinding to have physical copies of fanfic that I love.

Here are some examples of paperback books I’ve made in the past for various projects and gifts. To see more of my finished works, consider browsing the Bookpics tag on this blog.
Bookmarks I’m mailing to my $10 patreon subscribers. What do we think– can’t decide if the gold pen fits the vibe, I wish I had a lighter gold.
When it catches the light it’s nice. They’re printed with just a yellow pumpkin tho and I could simply leave it.. thoughts?
All my posts on patreon are “free”/not behind a wall, so the content is equally available to everyone. The only benefit to joining is a) supporting me, b) $3 and up tier get stickers mailed to them, and c) $10 and up tier get bookmarks and stickers mailed to them.
These are the October bookmarks!
Support on patreon basically funds my craft budget and let’s me do fun shit like giveaways, but the content itself is never behind a paywall.
This is the process of how I print and cut my bookmarks! This is before laminating
This month I’ve got some motivation saying/anti anxiety stickers and I’m letting patreons call dibs on an animal! It’s a lot more personalized than I usually make sticker mail
For context, $5 $3 and higher subs on my patreon get a handful of stickers mailed to them every month. Only like 6 people do it but it’s a fun time!
Of animal options, I currently have:
several cats, several foxes, a hummingbird, a crow, a goat, two red pandas, buncha dragons, few dogs, one bear, one honeybadger, one ferret, one dear, one pegasus unicorn, one rabbit, one bat, an axolotl, two lizards, a frog, a human witch, a mushroom, two hedgehogs, an otter, and a squirrel.
If anyone is interested! The animal sticker isn’t the only one I send out, they’re new, but the other stickers included this month will be a few flowers, some Vintage ones, and random miscellaneous ones
EDIT: I can’t fucking count, it’s the $3 and up tiers that get stickers. My apologies. So exchange $3usd for stickers mailed to you monthly and a lil thank you note
Hey guys! I haven’t been posting much because I spent the last two months moving across the country. Now my stuff is here and theoretically I can get back into bookbinding– practically, not so much, due to IRL time constraints.
Still, more than I was doing during the move!
I’m currently working on the Desert Storm series for a friend. I’ve got all the books printed and folded, now at the awling/stabbing stage for most of them, and the sewing stage completed for 2.1 of them.
To those aware, I have a bookbinding patreon– none of the content is paywalled, it’s just a thing I set up so people could support if they want. I mail out stickers every month to one tier and these bookmarks I design and print to one of the higher tiers.
If you want stickers or bookmarks mailed to you, and don’t mind supporting, check it out.
These are August (bottom), september and october bookmarks. The August ones are one I painted in a sketchbook program with a kpop demon hunter lyric that has lived rent-free in my head, the other two are ones I’ve tried making with canva to try something new.
This is what the August ones look like all cut out and corner clipped (I print these myself). This is before I replaced the corner cutter that got lost in the move, so it’s a little rougher than normal!
Sorry for the delay, some things happened! But without any further ado, your winners.
3rd place, winner of stickers: Liz! @1stsana
2nd place, winner of some bookmarks: Mouse! @mousesizedragon-blog (I believe this is your tumblr)
1st place, winner of a paperback: @ladyteldra
Congratulations! I will reach out to winners to discuss details.

Hey two people entered but didn’t give any contact info so I can’t see who they are. I edited it and made a required question of contact info to prevent any further confusion. Please go check your submission and ensure it has contact info!
Finally had the time to work on Desert Storm! I’m doing the full series.
This is Passage and Mind the Gap, which I’ve combined into one volume and finished sewing. I’m going out of order
I’m also dedicating some time today to work on June’s bookmarks
(I mail out handmade bookmarks and some stickers to the people on my patreon, which is very fun)
(Trinkets in the mail!)
These are some of the bookmarks of late (mushroom design by @1stsana )
