EARTH IS MISSING! / EVERYONE'S WORLD IS ENDING ALL THE TIME

this spring I entered the Elizabeth Soutar Bookbinding Competition held by the National Library of Scotland. The theme this year was climate change. I didn't win any of the categories (I certainly didn't think I'd win any of the Craft categories, but I thought I had a decent shot at the Creative categories) but I am very happy with how my binding came out anyway!

under the cut is the details of the binding and the process that went into it, plus a full list of the texts included.

this is a modified 3 piece bradel binding - a 3 piece bradel is usually made with leather spine with the spine attached to the textblock and the front and back covers added on after. there's another variety of a 3 piece bradel case where the spine and boards are assembled with a thin piece of paper to later be covered with a bookcloth. I wanted to use some leftover misprint cardstock I had (the same stuff I'd previously used to make paperbacks) and I wanted to print the titles directly onto the covers and spine (specifically I wanted to overprint the titles to imitate the existing misprint), and in order to fit it through my printer I had to have it in three pieces. so I assembled a bradel case as if it were to be covered with a cloth, only the cardstock I was using to assemble the case would also be the cover material.

everything I used to make this book was recycled or reused, with the exception of the greybeards which were new (I didn't have any rescued book boards from secondhand books at the time). the text paper is recycled eco-craft paper, the endbands are re-used macramé cords wrapped in green wrapping paper that came from a gift bag, and as mentioned, the cover material comes from a misprinted running sheet.

a few process photos of getting the case together:

in terms of content, I took care that not only should the binding fit the theme of climate change - by using recycled and reused materials - but the text inside should also fit the theme. there were a lot of considerations there because I could easily have just bought a copy of something like Greta Thunberg's speeches and rebound them, but I wanted the texts to be something that made sense to me. so I went and looked at the SFF magazines I read for climate fiction and essays, I looked for academic papers, and I looked on Gutenberg for older pulp fiction relating to climate change. once I had a selection of texts I pared them down to two categories, fiction and non-fiction, and decided the most fun way to bind them would be as a tête-bêche with fiction on one side and non-fiction on the other, and this then informed how the binding would physically turn out - the modified 3 piece bradel.

here is the full table of contents for each side of the book:

24-3. Mixed media, with recycled/repurposed materials including scrap paper, cedar remnants, and acrylic paint peeled off a discarded painting.

I changed my mind and decided to use a numbered format for this series after all. Giving the series a thematic name (Metamorphs) felt too confining, and I spent too much time agonizing over whether a new piece really fit the name. I'm still focusing on transforming and honoring the beauty of recycled, repurposed, and rescued materials, but the numbered system gives me a bit more freedom to evolve and explore.

I made a spooky house. I made it with cardboard, paper, wood and glue. Well, except for the light. That is not made out of glue.

🐟 BARRACUDA 🐟

… which this american shad is certainly not!! I’m determined to keep up the classic rock naming, despite it not making a whole lot of sense here 😅

I was going to queue this and have it come out the same time as my instagram post, but I changed my mind and feel like posting this a little early :)

I’ve recently come to three conclusions:

1)moving is very annoying, especially if you’re one to misplace/lose things as it is

2)I may be biting off more than I can chew per usual with my summer plans, but I really hope not

3)storage space is Cool and Fun, and I wish it was more functional now that I’m home for the summer

But hey, I’ve got things mostly sorted now. A lot of its gonna be ongoing, but it’s manageable at the moment. Anyways, here’s my newest in the paper bag series!! Between this and my salmon for the daily drawings (you can find those on my instagram in the story highlights, I’ll link my profile below!!) It’s been nice drawing some fish!!

Link

[ID: A hand holding a black and white illustration on tan paper with uneven edges. behind it is a white tapestry with a pattern made up of illustrated green leaves, slightly out of focus. The illustration is a black fish (a shad) head and front flipper, looking down and right in profile view. It’s mouth is slightly open. All the details and the eye are sketched in with white, and the illustration itself sits within a white circle. it crops at its gills on the left hand side of the circle, it’s mouth and fin overlapping the shape. Behind the head at the same level of its late eye, the tail fins can be seen. A larger circle surrounding the fish head are vines with wild geraniums with stylized leaves and thorns. Most of the thorns, vines, and leaves are colored in black, but some are just a white outline. Some plant material breaks out from a larger circle behind them and the shad drawing, Over top of the plants radiating out from the center of the fish head are sketchy white lines. the paper is thin, and has a slight scaled pattern to it.

Image 2: cropped version of the previously described illustration. the photo goes to the edges of the page, and the illustration is centered. the radial lines on the top, bottom, and right of the page are slightly cropped.

Image 3: Crop on the shad’s face, details in the white ink becoming more apparent. The head is now tilted up, and crops most of the gills and plant life out.

Image 4: Crop focusing on the Shad’s scales and plant life. Only the top left quarter of the illustration is in frame. /end ID]

Someone call the police, my back's Killing me🥺😭💀

Jokes aside my back and feet are sore AF from working 7 hours nonstop on the dark Lords throne but it's finally

DONE💖💖💖

Here's the transformation (minus what's underneath as that's in the previous post)

As I couldn't find Black fabric in the recycling center I settled for White and decided to paint the throne with the schools paints that had gone bad so; Hooray me for helping reduce waste by putting it to good use🎉🎉

Here's the throne and platform painted🎉

Around this point I run a poll if I should or shouldn't bling up the throne and as the results started to lean more heavily in the side of blinging it up a notch I started to agree that the dark Lord was indeed worthy and Worth the pain and effort of embellishing his throne💖

1st pic is the pencil line and the 2 others are how it looked when I drew over the lines with the hot glue gun and painted them black.

I know the picture I drew is wonky but so's the whole chair🤣🤣

Anywhoo, here are the final results:

And I think it looks pretty badass💖

The design is from inside the church (or whatchamacallit) that Tolkien often visited because I wanted Morgoths throne to have a sort of "Blashemious" design to it but as the good professor didn't say diddly squat about Eru I went for the next best thing aka HIS jugular😈

I could go on and on about the ideas behind the concept but my bed is calling me and I'd be a fool to refuse the call for sleep has been an elusive bitch and Goddammit I Will Get More Than 6 Hours Of Sleep Tonight Or So Help Me--!!😤😤😤
