Two book bindings

[ehyde]

I finished up two projects this week, despite the snow (and despite the kids being home from school due to the snow)

First: Mo Du (Silent Reading) by Priest



This was typeset by @rainsfalling.tumblr for 2024's cnovel bookbinding exchange. I haven't read it yet, so my design choices don't have much to do with the contents (I started with the cat endpapers, found this plaid fabric on the same shopping trip, and designed the book around that combo.

Second: The Tiniest Heipaoshi by @tehfanglyfish.tumblr



This is a very fun fic in which Professor Shen's TA takes on some additional duties. I knew almost immediately after reading it that I wanted it to be a tiny book. It's a sewn-board binding styled after a composition notebook, with the title/initials in a sketched version of a fancier font, sort of inspired by Jiajia's closet cosplay version of Shen Wei's envoy robes in the fic. Happily I had some scrap paper left over from a previous project which matched both the canon vibes and the notebook look!
