It’s just the cutest!!! Any time I put it down I find myself looking for it again a few minutes later. I’ve been trying to squeeze fun little projects out of the scraps I’ve been amassing but can’t seem to get rid of. Plus, I think getting rid of an piece of @ruscombepaper_usbarts paper is a crime, no matter how small.

Just realized I never posted the timelapse videos of these two thesis bindings. Swipe to check it out. It was a real challenge to get the gold to stick in only about 18% relative humidity (you have to tool before the egg glair dries out or nothing sticks, and the drier it is the faster it dries), but working quickly with sizzlin hot tools did the trick!! I hope you all had a wonderful New Years! Wishing you all a productive and fruitful year 🥳🥭🍒🍎📈🔝🔝!!! Also, in case you were wondering, a sweatsuit is required for good work 😂

Just wrapped up these two dissertation bindings for some good friends who are about to up and move to England in January. He conducted his research in loblolly pine forests, so I made that little pine cone/tree tool to match. Timelapse video of the process to follow!! Also, if any binders out there are looking, Jessica Peterson of @southernletterpress will format pdfs and word documents into folded sections for your binding pleasure, and she is a total dee-light to work with 😁.
