I visited an artist friend of mine a while ago; she lives in an artist's residence where previously lived a guy who made marbled papers for bookbinding. He was a supplier for one of Sweden's largest publishers (I don't know how long ago this was). Anyway, she had lots of these marbled papers lying around and gave me a bunch of them. They're so lovely!

Here is a new book I made using one of the papers.

It is a collection of Flight of the Heron fic written up until this fall. Now I can reread these stories in book form! \o/ And as new stories are being written, I suppose I’ll be able to make another book eventually... : )

Beautiful!

(And I do some of this at the library where I work...for book repair on some books that have shelf-wear.)

Wow

That is beautiful! The "sage" color* spine matches the marble scheme. (is that color also "sage" in Swedish?)

* see also my journal style :)

Oh, that's gorgeous! It looks just like the sort of obscure, beautifully-made old book I'd stumble across in a library and get lost in reading. And what a good idea to collect the fic in a fandom in book form :D

Oh, beautiful! I hope that the book brings you much pleasure, both in the having and the reading. And yes, may there soon be sufficient material for a second volume!

We call it salvia in Italian too. Now I wonder if it's Latin, originally. Will look it up.

It looks beautiful! (And is seriously tempting me to make a volume of my favorite fics... *glances at long neglected bookbinding supplies*)

between shirts and books (and fics and podfics), everything you make is so lovely!

Oh, so pretty! And I like the idea of adding more books to the series -- matching volumes, perhaps?

That's gorgeous! What lovely colours. I'm glad it got to be part of a book for people to enjoy, instead of just sitting around in a drawer.
