Aug 2023, bookbinding of The Silent Isle Imbowers by Tharkuun.

I’m sooo so so pleased to finally share this! I have been actively working on this for many months and waited until Tharkuun received her copy before posting so the final result would be a surprise.

-----------About this bookbinding under the cut

This binding has been one of the more elaborate pieces I have attempted so far. This has been my first binding where I (1) made three copies of a piece at once, (2) used a modified a historical illustration, (3) collaborated directly with another artist on the decorative elements, (4) finished matching art for the cover and title page, and (5) layered paint and heat-transfer vinyl for the covers. These are also (6) the first non-tiny books I have made with this style of hinge and cover attachment.

Pretty much immediately after I first read this story I felt I had to make myself a copy of this. I had a strong mental image of a vintage-looking cover for a fairy tale, with a deceptively simple design of flowers on the cover, probably with fancy metallic accents, the kind of thing you’d find in an interesting used bookstore with no summary, no text on the back, no dust jacket, just the flowers and maybe a title. I’m going to make a separate post about making this cover design a reality because oh man has it been a journey lol! I designed and drew the digital art for the cover (digital because of the cut and application method), as well as the corresponding title page illustration (pencil and dip pen, scanned, title added digitally).

When I asked Tharkuun about it she was excited to suggest I get in touch with quillingwords, who generously agreed to collaborate with me! Among her talents quilling writes calligraphy, and hand wrote both the book title and chapter headers for me to incorporate into my plans. Check OUT those chapter headers! So fancy! A font could never!! Quilling has also been very encouraging and let me yell about this project in dms for months so the final result could be a surprise for Tharkuun. Thank u so much quillingwords, your calligraphy adds invaluable amounts of swag to this project.

I was going to do some kinda neat font for the chapter headers, but quilling’s work is too cool for that and I decided to use a modified piece of a historical illustration instead. The illustration also happens to be cool as heck: I was browsing the Artstor database (an academic quality resource available for free via Jstor, my beloved) and found E. N. Neureuther's 1836 gorgeous etching for etching of the fairy tale Briar Rose, an illustration made for a printing of a Brothers Grimm recorded German fairy tale with Sleeping Beauty elements. Much to my delight this illustration not only matches the general look I wanted but is actually relevant to the story, itself a Sleeping Beauty spinoff.

Slightly less stylistically consistent are the endpapers, which are prints of two different paintings by Arnold Böcklin: Isle of the Dead (1883) in the front and Isle of Life (1888). The first painting had occurred to me as an excellent visual to go with the story, and Tharkuun and I discussed this and agreed that pairing it with the related later, more optimistic piece was too thematically appropriate to resist.

I had fun and learned a lot making these books and I am very pleased with the result!!

Materials: Archival bookboard, cardstock, cotton cheesecloth mull, archival PVA glue, linen thread coated in beeswax, paper cord, red cotton embroidery floss. Blue cotton backed with archival paper, acrylic paint, machine cut black and gold heat-transfer vinyl. Laser printed text and illustrations. Metallic scrapbooking paper.

#Steve telling Robin that Eddie Knows His Great Shame and being distraught about it #Eddie going home and telling corroded coffin that ‘today men. I heard what angels must sound like’ #obviously eddie tries everything he can to make it happen again and Steve does his best to avoid it #Steve thinking it’ll make him seem less Hot and Eddie tearing his hair out over how much worse his crush got after hearing The Laugh #I love snort laugh steve so much #and this obviously means eddie is a silent laugher but scream sneezer

do you think émilie agreste knew, on the day she became too weak to leave that house, that she never would again

#having a normal one. don’t worry about it #just thinking about how she never escaped even in death etc etc #do you think she knew even as she pleaded with gabriel to give up on her that he never would. #that no one truly loved her enough to heed her warnings #that adrien was going to be left alone #what must it have been like for her to grow slower and weaker and quieter until she was as still as the bed d #do you think she knew she was becoming another fixture of that house #beautiful and immovable and silent #how long did gabriel have that coffin ready in the basement. how much time did he spend building it. did nathalie help. #did emilie know where they went in those long hours she laid there dying? that they intended to keep her there -always dying and never dead? #is that why she left videos? because she knew they’d build an altar for her haunting and she had to give her ghost a voice? #i think often about gabriel saying that emilie never wanted what she deserved #i think about gabriel and nathalie not letting her die. i think about ladybug not letting chat noir die. #circles and cycles ending up right back where you started #you know. having a normal one #anna rambles #emilie agreste #thirteen

Prompt 67

Dan is not happy. His limbs are too small, his hands too pudgy and his body too squishy. And his so-called cousins are the same, despite the fact they were all finally going to turn eighteen (again in his case!) literally the next day! 

…

Um, hello strange masked being, back the fuck off! Who are you?! Put him down- actually put all four of them down thank you! Those claws are very big and he’s not worried but seriously, he doesn’t want to deal with this, he wants to go back to how he was! He’s not fucking growing up a third time! 

…

Did you just click at him?! Hell no, he’ll bite you, don’t think he won’t! So what if his powers aren’t working or that he’s now a squishy toddler thing, he’ll still bite your stupid fingers if you make his cousin-siblings scared! 

…

Talon is just bemused at the tiny (even smaller than the ones who usually follow it!) talons that appeared in front of it with no warning. Sure they have strange green eyes instead of yellow but they smell like Talons, have claws like talons and fangs like talons, and even sound like talons! Hm… It has even more hatchlings now! 

#talon batman #dcxdp #dpxdc #talon batfamily #prompts #Big Talon (Bruce) *gasp* another set of hatchlings to teach and care for! #newer talons follow older talons around to learn while staying out of the court's way #so bruce has his batkids even if they're also talons #Little Talon (Tim) these are strange hatchlings but they're ours now #Gray Talon (Dick) *vibrating in sheer silent glee* #Dan: *BitesYouBitesYouBitesYouBitesYou-* #Quiet Talon (Jason): Oh- baby hatchling must be hungry I shall grab food :) #Can I just say I love the idea of talons clicking to each other as greeting & a 'you're not alone' sort of thing #Jazz: Wow this is fucked up I need to take notes but i have tiny baby hands #Ellie & Danny: So is this dude a fruitloop or just a really weird ghost #honestly this is probably pre-JL #jazz fenton #danny fenton #dani fenton #dan masters #court of owls

Robert gets silly, gets nervous, then keeps talking like the pro that he is:

i love the idea that kusuke had some sort of life-altering revelation offscreen after the cattank incident. like he and kusuo never actually properly talk it out but the next time kusuke shows up he just treats kusuo like a normal brother (relatively of course) and its never addressed

#the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo no psi nan #saiki k #saiki kusou #saiki kusuke #i dont remember exactly how it plays out in canon #but in my head this is how it goes #like theres just some sort of silent understanding between them like ''okay yeah that was enough actually. were good now'' #they probably SHOULD talk it about but knowing them........ #anyway its 4 am and i must needs be gone.......toodles!

I am processing nettle to do various fiber craft experiments with and you may notice the terrible stock pot situation which resulted in me setting a towel on fire briefly but hey. I have successfully made nettle cordage. The difference in color is dependent on how much I scraped and cleaned the fiber before use!

Unfortunately the journey is far from over and I expect I shall be in nettle hell for weeks to come

Other nettle projects include spinning, papermaking, dyeing (root and leaf) and eating. I have already eaten it but I think the season is wrong. Not much taste only texture. anyways! Good times and also suffering

#but I voluntarily wanted to do this I’m so excited about nettle as a plant tbh #art #nettle #fiber crafts #cordage #fiber art #textiles #my art #mine #cyanoupdates #I would like to one day do a performance piece? art experience??? of recreating the stipulations in the fairy tale #where you must gather the nettle by hand #dance upon it barefoot #card and spin the fiber and then weave it into shirts #all while remaining silent #not all of this I think I would stop once I got to spinning #but I would like to try it #to understand the suffering #you know? #embodiment something something

#i feel like there must be some kind of crab pun that didnt translate somehow bc the fact that shes crab themed is so entirely random #but even if it is random thats fine. its cute. i have to vouch for her as a marylander #i just love the way her braids are crab pincers #a silent voice

angels are real their names are shams and noor

#i am a very silent crier but my babies pick up on the difference in my breathing and come to give me kisses #i don't think they know what it means but they understand something is wrong because they're like #OMG ARE U OK? *sniff sniff sniff* *head bonk* #it always makes me laugh because they're like. well there's nothing a good head bonk can't fix! #and they're so damn right!!! #not sure about the sniffing though. next time someone cries next to me and idk what to do i'll sniff them and see if it helps #shams and noor are geniuses after all they must know what they're doing

Headcanon based on something I just drew.

When Apollo is annoyed he rants, when he’s angry he yells, but when he’s truly furious, he’s completely silent.

Many a mortal have died to nothing more than the sound of an arrow being let loose. In his rage, Apollo deemed their lives, and their deaths, unworthy of his voice. No requiem for the wicked.

#something something #the confrontation after Apollo kills the master Cyclopes #Zeus is yelling and screaming and so furious #and at the foot of his throne apollo stands silent and unapologetic #and for the first time Zeus realizes he might’ve pushed his son too far #so he attempts to cast Apollo to Tartarus to fix his mistake #but throughout all his threats Apollo remains silent #too far gone in his rage and grief to even care what his fathers punishment might be #this specific moment is so important to me bc it must have been such a breaking point in their relationship #but it’s mentioned so little #it’s the only time (as far as I know) Apollo makes the choice on his own to strike against his father #even if it isn’t against Zeus directly we know from the books it was an attempt to get rid of his power over Apollo #and that’s the one thing Zeus is terrified of #anyways #working on toapril a bit early ;) #I’m deluding myself into thinking I can do every day woop woop #trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #sunny speaks #headcanons
