Did two other homemade hardcovers pretty much at the same time, so I’ll start with my older fic!

(I think there's a piece of thread on the back cover there but I'm too lazy to take another pic)

As it may be seen, I had some issues with the transfer paper this time, with the dark blue and purple emeralds. Blue one straight up folded while ironing and I'm not sure why but I fixed it as much as I could while the purple one just didn’t stick at all on one side for some reason and finally held after I put another layer of varnish there. The rest was fine though aside from me picking a slightly too pale color, whoops. Oh well.

The back cover was supposed to be fireworks using my gold and copper acrylic pencils but I realized i didn't know how to make fireworks so I just embraced the chaos and hoped for the best hehehe

Tried to texture it too with black acrylics but it didn't texture as much as I had hope. It was a good attempt though.

Here’s a look on the inside:

I kept it a little more "normal" looking since I didn't feel like a particular vibe fitted for the fonts, but I think it looks nice still.

A good pal of mine told me I should have put kudos and bookmarks on that lil "distributed" there and she's absolutely right so while I won't have them on the next hardcover I'll be presenting (it was printed at the same time), they will be on Light on the Horizon’s hardcovers B)

I still ran in that issue where the book doesn't fully open but it's much more lowkey now? Starting to wonder if maybe it’s a thickness thing since the other two with the issue are both 20k-ish words while this one is 50k (aka p thicker)

I'll just have to see if At Hope’s End has this issue I suppose hehehe
