Woo, I haven't done any bookbinding since February, so here's a quick project to get back into the swing of things!
To start off, this is a binding of a cute original oneshot "to be idle and blessed" by whalebone, about a robot who falls in love with a bubbly human gardener. And, like I said last time, this is a Steifbroschure. I just have to say: this method really does take out a lot of the stress of a normal case binding! You build the case right onto the book block, like with the sewn-board binding, so you don't have to worry about accidentally attaching it crooked or anything like that, which is nice! This binding also retains the shoulders that you'd expect in a "normal" book, unlike the sewn-board binding.
( Onto the actual book! )
Overall, I think it turned out to be a very cute, successful project and I definitely want to use this binding again! ^^
