Happy Spring! I've been trying various kinds of commercial book cloth and I'm loving it. In this video, I use the half binding method for the covers by combining both book cloth and chiyogami. Even though there are a lot of pieces (AKA plenty of measuring and cutting), putting them together feels like I'm completing a puzzle. I look forward to making more half bound books!

I missed making these quiet bookbinding videos 🥲 I recently shifted my Patreon benefits so that I'm committed to making these at least once a month. Patrons at the Book Buddies tier receive a voiceover version of this video, where I talk through my process and decision-making. I'm excited to continue documenting my bookbinding process and growing my video skills! Thank you patrons for making this possible, and for your encouragement to make these videos again.
These are my most favourite videos!!!! ❤
Perfect video for breath work exercises. These really are so artistic as film art.
This is probably what man feel watching the sports 😁
Thank you so much. Your quiet gift is so inspiring. I receive with gratitude your gift. I learn how to quieten my mind and soul and find joy in a new bookmaking technique each time. So happy to see the half binding method. Kathy
This was the first time I didn't speed up or skip forward. And I ALWAYS do.
Very inspiring, your filming skills are so good it’s always a pleasure to watch 👍
A beautiful morning, a beautiful video from her.
These books are works of art. I'm inspired to continue my journey into learning book binding. 📚📚📚❤❤❤
Hi, channel so happy to see you've posted a new video. I couldn't find where I could make another donation to your bookmaking book your putting together ( I can't wait to purchase it) but I did notice instead you're setting a goal for patronage so I joined your tea time tier hopefully that will get you closer to your book fund goal. When I can I will upgrade on your tiers. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talents. ❤ ~Gina~
I've learned so much about book binding from your channel that I feel like I owe you tuition! Wonderful video as always. Thank you for sharing.
Beautifully done as usual! Love these quiet videos.
Ahh! These are awesome and i dozed off bit and missed some of it. It was just so calming 😅
Nice casing in technique, looks the opposite of the “standard” technique, but looks more precise! Ideal for anyone who’s using straight PVA as casing in adhesive. As always, thank you for your hard work :)
I loved these book designs absolutely beautiful the blue and orange paper on the inside had beautiful color and texture just loved this video
Masterpiece ❤
Your videos are so easy to watch in the morning as I'm not a morning person and can't bear a lot of noise. lol. And I just LOVE your choice of gorgeous Japanese papers. It's cool that you bring some of the oriental culture into the business.
I'm looking forward to a shop update. Such beautiful sketchbooks.
SO beautiful. Thank you!
I was going to take a nap to this but couldn’t take my eyes off to the last minute. Absolutely stunning. Bravo!!
This was wonderful. Thank you.
Great technique with the support during glueing end papers to the covers!
So beautiful! ❤❤❤
Love these videos! As someone who is comically bad at cutting and folding paper, your meticulousness is so mesmerizing
These are both so beautiful and I'm totally in love with the blue one! I hope to snag one of your books someday
Beautiful !!
Gorgeous books; amazing craftsmanship
Wow you’ve really helped me along with my bindings! And for that I thank you 🙏🏻 and also the pearls of wisdom you share. I’ve really been struggling to motivate my self to make books but I have such low energy I’m finding it difficult to apply myself and commit to making books. You’ve taught me to do other things like plan and discover new methods of binding & techniques, and get out and walk more 😊 You’ve come so far in your journey, your really inspiring me. I’m getting there and you’ve become part of my journey with your blog & channel. Thank you Chanel 📒🙏🏻📚
I love your work, it's so beautiful 😍
been inspired to try bookbinding for myself by watching your videos! very pleased to see that while I had not seen this video prior to picking up my supplies, I got these exact rachet clamps from the hardware store, so I guess I made a good choice! hoping my first attempt comes out even half as lovely as yours do ☺
It was so satisfying to watch
I love how well Lucy "supervises " you. 😅 As always your work is gorgeous.
Now I wanna make my own too... 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Gosh... Thanks for sharing this!
Vous travaillez magnifiquement bien ! Merci pour vos partages !
So beautiful and relaxing watching you.
Thank You!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤for sharing
Belíssimo trabalho. Inspirador.
New subscriber here. Your channel is both informative & relaxing.🙂 Thank you so much & God bless you.❤
I love the contrast between the matte colour of. the spine and the colourful splash of the bookcloth covers, what a great idea! May I ask what type of paper you're using for the spine? Is it some sort of canvas/linen bookcloth or textured cardstock? It reminds me of the first hardback editions of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket that I grew up reading.
Is there a reason why you glue your endpapers on instead of sewing them to the textblock? Also I LOVE these videos!!
Your dog is so cute ❤❤❤
I love your works ,they're so beautiful 😍❤️.
Can i ask what kind of paper you use for the books?
Found your channel through JM Things!
What type of paper do you use for the covers and spine?
Very nice video and meticulous work. I like to do pen and ink sketching --- but your books are so beautiful, I would feel a little intimidated actually sketching in them! May I ask what the symbol/meaning of your right foreman tattoo is? Thanks...
What the size of your spacer? How did you determine it?
In previous video she explained that :)
I love your process nd end results. Do you give lessons?
What kind of thread that you use? How many ply, 2 or 3 ?
Is it possible to do a sketchbook using 300 gsm cotton paper?
Have you made a 8 1/2 x 11 book binding?
What paper you use
What is this yellow bar you used on the strings ?
Beeswax!
are you using a .25 inch gutter?
Hi. What the name of the material you glued to the spine?
Book cloth! I got them from Book Craft Supply and Talas Online.

Why do you put wax on the thread?

The dark blue book had no reason to be that crunchy 🤤🤤
