What's the name of the golden sheet that she put on her book? I don't understand the language very well... I'm a Portuguese speaker. If anyone knows the name will help me a lot! Thanks ❤️
This video introduced me to a new hobby. Since watching this, I have moved to watching numerous other bookbinding videos and have created about a dozen books of my own. But it all started with this awesome video. Thanks for inspiring me!
30 years ago I learned the hand-bound process and since then I didn't see anyone do it. Thank you and congratulations, you are very young and you are rescuing this art. Greetings from Mexico. Your cat is truly lovely.
This showed me just HOW MUCH WORK goes into making a book, particularly a book with extensive details. Amazing and beautiful book, astonishing job on it.
I was looking up ideas for my new grimoire. My last one was just a sketchbook that I embossed and painted but I kind of want to go more "all in" so to speak. My first one was kind of a trial run when I first got into witchcraft and now I want to do a more finished and personal looking book.
To me, sketchbook and silly doodle would be a waste of expensive blank book, use it for a more useful thing like a secret recipe to natural antidotes and cures and ointments then pass it down to through your following generation. Then it will be a truly magical book, the worthy of Grimoire. Then maybe get more book like this note more knowledge of our time, all of it to pass down generation. When the people of the world has fallen back and lost their technology, knowledge, language, political, arts, creation, and power, these grimoires from us will protect them.
I'm too broke to buy your book😩! But I understand why the price is that high. You've put a lot of hard work into your books so it's very understanding.
@@therailrangervmtg8658 Wow, what a rip-off. O_O Search for "AlexLibris" on Etsy. He's a professional book binder. His works are not only way better looking but also cheaper.
It isn't hard Believe me, you can do it with the simplest tools Cardboard, Bond paper, a sturdy thread, a needle hard enough, some leather or fabric or fake leather, withe glue (for wood) and a nail or a saw You can press the book with rope and wood tables! And saw it in a chair
Your book would look right at home sitting on the shelf in a Harry Potter or Dr. Strange movie. I don't know if you've already sold your book or not, but as I mentioned in a previous video, you could easily add a miniature Adafruit of Arduino sound board and have it make eerie moaning sounds when someone opens it up, that alternates to someone weeping, evil distant laughter, etc. That would really add to the creepiness factor of the book.
Fantasy books I desire to own: -The Necronomicon -The NeverEnding story book (the one inside the story) -The diaries from Gravity falls -The Enchiridion from Adventure time
i could easily see someone with that book still blank going up to their friends and saying "hey look at this cool book i got, it has some really weird symbols and pictures in it" they look and see nothing "wait, what do you mean its blank?"
I actually really like the bookbinding, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The electronics are cool, but I do enjoy the simpler technology DIY things. Just do whatever projects interest you!

Please, please, **please** see this. I have a little sister named Abigail. I will pay any amount. You choose. Money never meant anything to me. Just a tool to get what you need. I would like nothing more than to gift my little sister with this grimoire. Please. I am begging you. Will you please allow me to buy from you? This is the most beautiful art I feel I've seen in my life. I want my sister to have something to hold close to her heart. I see this as the perfect present for her. I don't even pray... and I'm praying right now that you'll be willing to consider it. Side note, you are unrealistically beautiful, what is this? Why do you look flawless to me? I'm sorry. Hopefully I'm not crossing any lines by saying that. But, just, I don't know what to say. You look incredible. Your hair, the gauges, your physique. ...your style... oh, my God, your style. Jesus. Okay... wow. Anyway. Uhh. I hope you have a nice day, or night, I guess. Depending on when you see this. If you do. Hopefully you do. I know it would mean the world to my little sister and believe me, I would make sure she knew who you were, so she could thank you if you were willing to part with it. It's almost haunting how good it looks.
Absolutely amazing results! It really makes you appreciate the craft and art of book binding from years ago. It makes me a little sad to think how people used to take so much pride in the things they produced unlike today where everything is made as fast, efficiently and cheaply as possible making it literally disposable. Congratulations you have really come a long way In the art of book binding and am now producing real things of beauty.
Innovation is wonderful but it's definitely easy to miss more wholesome times, where everything was made with character; the craft of every item was so intricate
That’s true, but when cheaper books were introduced, more people could own them, and that’s true for most things. There are sure lots of negative sides to faster and cheaper productions, and I too think that we all should be less wasteful, but there are also a good amount of positive aspects to it
I think the possibility of making books faster and cheaper has actually a lot of positive sides, because along with making them more accessible to less wealthy people, the lowered prices of production allowed to make more kinds of books, and also, now when something is handmade it acquires even more value and character.
Book binding is cool! But don't let that invalidate the work that goes into book creation nowadays. Authors then and now put lots of work and effort into what they make, whether its gimeless stories printed onto a page, or a few hours of work into book binding. At the end of the day, they can each respect the others craft, and people watching from the sidelines should respect that too. Just because something cam be made quicker doesn't make it any less valuable.
Oh wow!!! The quality of this! Sadly my budget isn't big enough to be able to buy it, otherwise I would've bought it already. Seriously getting a sense of the occult in your videos lately, and honestly I do enjoy it. Combined with the tech stuff, it's a nice difference.
You can make one of these for pretty cheap. Sea Lemon has some great videos on how. You can also get fake leather from Joann's for really cheap (since you don't need a lot and they always have coupons). You can reuse the board on the back of the pad of paper for the cover (you can also cut the board into fourths if you what a heavy cover, just tear the pages in half then fold again. A shorter book but you also have more pages!). All in all, you can probably make one for about $20 or less if you are a good couponer.
Medieval books we almost limited to religious texts for this reason alone. A monk would spend several years to decades handwriting the text into a manuscript (they were praised for their regular handwriting) onto usually goatskin vellum. Then it would be bound into a book. Books really became more widely available with the invention of the printing press and then more economically produced paper. There is a fascinating documentary on the Devil's Bible (its really just a large Bible with odd illustrations and a weird history) and how a monk pretty much spent over a decade teaching himself calligraphy and how to draw and bind the book himself.
@paly jefferson that's exactly how old manuscripts were made (hand written of course). You can actually lay out a book in Adobe InDesign and then have it print out so when you fold the folios /signatures everything lines up perfectly
If you want to achieve an easier V shape in the ribbons, try folding them in half (vertically) and then just cut once, that way it will be easier, the use of the candle to seal the threads is a really good idea :)
Not sure how this video came to be part of my recommended today but I am glad that the TH-cam Gods chose it. I have never seen book making or in this case a Grimoire. So satisfying to watch. Looks Gorgeous. Definitely got a like and follow from me.
I‘m a silk screen printer in training. In the first year (three in total) of training, we have school with bookbinding trainees. I just showed you video to one of them and she’s amazed - as am I. This is great!
WOW! I have a new appreciation for bookbinders. No wonder binds outside the cheap glued in mass produced types that papers separate from can be costly. Thank you for sharing

That's a prize if I ever saw one. I have to make one that would follow your bookbinding technique, which, if you ask me, could be duplicated..even the chair :) Anyone trying it out should do well. Peace :)
Could you post the things for the gold leaf part? I seem to be having trouble finding the primer needed, found lots of gold leaf though :) P.S: I loved this video and am thinking of making one for a friend as a gift, you're an inspiration!!!
Your videos are amazing. I have absolutely no intention of mastering medieval binding, I'm fine with much simpler approaches, that don't require a book press. But I watch your videos fascinated, they inspire! Thank you
That's mighty fine workmanship! Thank you for making this video; it clarifies several steps I've never really been able to grasp, like headbanding. Well done!!!
I am making a book myself with the guidance of a mixture of your other tutorial and this one! I'm about halfway done I'd say, just sewed the headbands today and applied the wood front and back covers! Thank you so much for these videos, I learned a lot from them!
more book videos please xD maybe try an arabesque or oriental design? this is so cool i wish i can buy that book idk if you can ship the book to indonesia tho :(
I really want to thank you for this. I have made the same Grimore following what you showed thru this video. How I wish I can show you the products. I even salvage some old books with a new leather hard cover books. I thank you. I thank you for the knowledge
I know this video is 9 months old, but I just recently discovered y’alls channel & I’m obsessed & can’t stop watching 😭 everything is so good, it fuels my creativity!
The patience and attention to detail is unreal! I've watched this video so many times in the last several years, there's something satisfying and motivating about it!
Three things: 1) I’ve been loving the book binding videos - fascinating!; 2) You are ridiculously patient - working with gold leaf would drive me insane! 😂; 3) Seeing the word Uberzugslack in print, as someone who only speaks English, was awesome. We just don’t have cool words like that around here! Thank you - the book is amazing!
Amazing video! This was way more in depth than I was expecting and so close to how books like this are actually made. The book is beautiful. If you want to stop creasing on the spine you can add a cavity out of card or lots of layers of glue and paper to protect the buckram or leather.
This was so cool! Your spellbook video got me into trying bookbinding over the last week or so. You do a really good job of showing the steps to create an amazing piece. Absolutely fantastic video
Very nice videos from bookbinding, it inspired me and I started binding a book myself (130 pages A3). The beginning is done and I can not wait until it is completed. Thank you for the great inspiration.
I will be doing a witch mercy cosplay soon and your bookbinding videos inspired me to really make her book. To make it a functional accessory. So for that I wanted to say thank you. I will be sure to tag you when I finish it.
An stunning job. I have a book that I would love to give this kind of look to. You’re video is amazing in the helpful sense, thanks for showing us how you achieved this look.
Recommend, for working with leather, a stitch groover. It puts a shallow groove in the leather so the stitching is below the surface. But you could use it for your gold leaf work. It will also give a different stain contrast due to removing the surface layer. All sorts of fun things.
I love this! I made a smaller version of this so it is easier to bring with me everywhere. You explained everything so well it was easy to follow and made me want to get into bookbinding. Love your videos!
What a beautiful, intricate handmade book!!! So much love and care went into this, and it shows in the quality!! This is an art form that has been lost. Thank you for sharing your skills!!
I just stumbled across this and just wanted to say that the grimoire looks amazing and watching you make it was insanely cool, it's so impressive how many different skills went into this
It's a wonderful book finish. I understood the bookbinding process well and was able to see it with great interest. As I noticed in the final video cut, I used to use that image as a reference for comic writing. I was happy to be back again.
Excellent! I started bookbinding after watching your first spellbook video, its great to see how you've improved so quickly! I'm curious, could you have done all the rivetting of the leather belt and embellishments before gluing the endpapers to the coverboards, so that they wouldn't be visible on the inside?
That's really awesome to hear, and thank you! Also, yes, absolutely. In that case I would have tried to countersink the rivets a bit on the inside first to make it completely even when covered up with paper. Also, you might need 2 different rivets that suits different material thicknesses (mine fits 3-6mm, so the wood fiberboard + leather + cardboars = 4mm, and the leather strap is 2mm, so they're perfect - but if countersunk, they should be maybe 1-3mm).
@@RossiaIsNoMore Gold leaf is in fact gold. But its been hammered so thin that its not all that expensive. I belive 80 mg of gold leaf is about 30 dollars.
I wish i had the time and materials to do this, because it would be AWESOME to draw in something so cool like a book with such amazing aesthetic feeling like some kind of cool artistic witch♥️♥️
I just recently collected all the materials and now I'll craft a book similar to this! However, the pages will be black and I will write on them with red ink. Also, the stone in the middle will be a dark red too, it just fits better with the vibe of the other books I have made thus far, including the Book of Cagliostro from Dr. Strange. I am super excited about it and can't wait to get started.

I'm not planning to make my own book from scratch, but I am interested in the way you did the cover. 😍 Might someday he ambitious enough to give something like that a try.
This is my first time watching someone making a book and HOLY SNAP! That was amazing? Yeah! I'd love to have a book like that or a shelf full of hand-made books like that... You are awesome
That's absolutely gorgeous. The amount of details is amazing to watch! But goddamn I kept asking myself "whyyyyy don't you use a brush to spread all that glue" ??? getting it off is a pain in the booty
I come back and watch this every cpl months, I don't know why, I wish I was half as talented as this chick! And the patience astounds me! 👏👏👏Well Done!!
Absolutely beautiful! I've made a few small books. I've been wanting to try a bigger project. This has inspired me, thank you! I've also watched your other book making videos and subscribed. Your work is amazing
I'm addicted to your videos! Where's the link to buy the book??? Make more, more! I want one! The music adds so much to the demonstrations, great selections.
At the beginning of this tutorial: "maybe I should try this"
At the end: "maybe I shouldn't "

@@dumblewhoree nice username btw
I really want to thank you for this. I have made the same Grimore following what you showed thru this video. How I wish I can show you the products. I even salvage some old books with a new leather hard cover books. I thank you. I thank you for the knowledge
What a gorgeous book press. Great project. I don't mind the bookbinding at all. Bind away.
I was curious about this video. But the cat sealed the deal.
You earned a sub
I don’t know how I got to this video, but WOW!
The attention to detail is incredible.
A true piece of art.
I know this video is 9 months old, but I just recently discovered y’alls channel & I’m obsessed & can’t stop watching 😭 everything is so good, it fuels my creativity!
*cat crawls into your lap while working*
Me: "Cats really are attracted to magickal workings"
I just got a cat ad after reading this 👁👄👁
Its book making, there's nothing inherently spiritual about it..
@@tigertoxins584 the book is for wicca. which is about magick and spiritual workings so really it is..
@@hiiiitherehaha but not the process of specifically binding the pages of a book together into a book
@@tigertoxins584 Anything can be magickal or spiritual as long as you put intent into it.
Your craftsmanship is amazing. The time dedicated to this projects shows the in the book. Thanks!
the hardest part of book binding, for me, is waiting for all the damn glue to dry
Make monster book like Harry Potter))
Check out thecraftmaiden :) She has a great one
The patience and attention to detail is unreal! I've watched this video so many times in the last several years, there's something satisfying and motivating about it!
Three things:
1) I’ve been loving the book binding videos - fascinating!; 2) You are ridiculously patient - working with gold leaf would drive me insane! 😂; 3) Seeing the word Uberzugslack in print, as someone who only speaks English, was awesome. We just don’t have cool words like that around here!
Thank you - the book is amazing!
This is one of the best diy videos I've ever seen. It's absolutely brilliant, thank you for sharing that with us, I enjoyed every moment of it
Amazing video! This was way more in depth than I was expecting and so close to how books like this are actually made. The book is beautiful.
If you want to stop creasing on the spine you can add a cavity out of card or lots of layers of glue and paper to protect the buckram or leather.
hi fluorescent black,,, lets connected, I love drawing
6:49 "I like my books thicc"
I thought u said "I like my boobs thicc" 😂
t h i c c
I like big books and i cannot lie. All you others brothers cant deny....
@@3riccar10 hahaaha
This was so cool! Your spellbook video got me into trying bookbinding over the last week or so. You do a really good job of showing the steps to create an amazing piece. Absolutely fantastic video
Love this book, imagine finding this book full of her paintings and sketches
that would be a dream come true
wow now i understand the high price of this book..... my respect it is amazing!!!
Very nice videos from bookbinding, it inspired me and I started binding a book myself (130 pages A3). The beginning is done and I can not wait until it is completed. Thank you for the great inspiration.
After months and months of just thinking ill finally try to make one myself 😌
🥱
Give us an update now.
Explains why they're so damn expensive in the magick shops
I will be doing a witch mercy cosplay soon and your bookbinding videos inspired me to really make her book. To make it a functional accessory. So for that I wanted to say thank you. I will be sure to tag you when I finish it.
An stunning job. I have a book that I would love to give this kind of look to. You’re video is amazing in the helpful sense, thanks for showing us how you achieved this look.
Recommend, for working with leather, a stitch groover. It puts a shallow groove in the leather so the stitching is below the surface. But you could use it for your gold leaf work. It will also give a different stain contrast due to removing the surface layer. All sorts of fun things.
i love watching peoples chanels progress. you can see how much more personality she has in the minecraft enchanted book video
Imagine use this book in your campain in d&d with your mage character, How cool It Will be
YES!! these would make amazing cosplay props!
I love this! I made a smaller version of this so it is easier to bring with me everywhere. You explained everything so well it was easy to follow and made me want to get into bookbinding. Love your videos!
hi noelle long. lets conncted, I love drawing
I there anyway you can sent a picture? instagram maybe?
What a beautiful, intricate handmade book!!! So much love and care went into this, and it shows in the quality!! This is an art form that has been lost. Thank you for sharing your skills!!
I just stumbled across this and just wanted to say that the grimoire looks amazing and watching you make it was insanely cool, it's so impressive how many different skills went into this
I have started to make grimoires after I have seen this tutorial, It all started as a game and now is my passion. ❤️🔥Thank you
You should be proud of the quality in these! These are made with such precision and love it's awesome.
It's a wonderful book finish. I understood the bookbinding process well and was able to see it with great interest. As I noticed in the final video cut, I used to use that image as a reference for comic writing. I was happy to be back again.
Excellent! I started bookbinding after watching your first spellbook video, its great to see how you've improved so quickly! I'm curious, could you have done all the rivetting of the leather belt and embellishments before gluing the endpapers to the coverboards, so that they wouldn't be visible on the inside?
That's really awesome to hear, and thank you! Also, yes, absolutely. In that case I would have tried to countersink the rivets a bit on the inside first to make it completely even when covered up with paper. Also, you might need 2 different rivets that suits different material thicknesses (mine fits 3-6mm, so the wood fiberboard + leather + cardboars = 4mm, and the leather strap is 2mm, so they're perfect - but if countersunk, they should be maybe 1-3mm).
Just a tip, breathing in gold leaf particles is extremely bad, don't forget to use a mask.
Thanks for letting me know!
Is it gold or "gold"?
@@RossiaIsNoMore Gold leaf is in fact gold. But its been hammered so thin that its not all that expensive. I belive 80 mg of gold leaf is about 30 dollars.
gold is not at all harmful it is one of the unreactive metals in fact gold is used as medicines in many cultures 😁
Yeah...thanks for that....🙄
I’ve used embossed designs on my leather sheaths mostly, to great effect. Beautiful job!
How has PVA glue NOT sponsor you yet?
Wow! You have an amazing skill set. This book would be a prize in any century.
This is a real work of love. The grimoire is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this creation!
+50 mana
+100% cast speed
outstanding work!
I wish i had the time and materials to do this, because it would be AWESOME to draw in something so cool like a book with such amazing aesthetic feeling like some kind of cool artistic witch♥️♥️
I made a book out of things i had, (scrap paper, cardboard box and yarn) and it ofc did not turn out as good as this, but it was a fun project
I just recently collected all the materials and now I'll craft a book similar to this! However, the pages will be black and I will write on them with red ink. Also, the stone in the middle will be a dark red too, it just fits better with the vibe of the other books I have made thus far, including the Book of Cagliostro from Dr. Strange. I am super excited about it and can't wait to get started.
Do you have a video on your channel of the result? Let us see :3!!
is there a way you can send a picture? instagram maybe?
take a shot every time she says "glue"
I should sue you for giving me alcohol poisoning
Im suing
Wow you are "very" smart😒
@@jsplast1 you are very "smart"... If u wanna not call him smart then dont put quotes on very
i fomished thr challwbge
Ebay link?
The auction is over a long time ago, but as the buyer pulled out of the deal, the book is up for sale on: www.thenerdforge.com
@@Nerdforge Are you going to have smaller books for sale like this AUÐUN
model on your website? Am I correct that there is only one book available to purchase right now?
@@dawidlipka6547 Hello, there is no books for sale now, only a journal. All the books I made have been sold, and they can be viewed in the gallery of the website :)
I love your work. Ive been wanting to get into leatherworking and this is a huge inspiration. Cant wait to see more!
Enjoyed this video so much and anxiously awaiting the others. Initially, I believed this to be a vid about spell-binding a BOS to prevent others from misusing a personal BOS. Keep them coming, I'll catch-up. HappyTrailsToYou
I'm not planning to make my own book from scratch, but I am interested in the way you did the cover. 😍
Might someday he ambitious enough to give something like that a try.
Just awesome.
As a booklover I like this very good bookbinding method of ancient time.
Just imagine being goth and calling this a diary. I would be scared and surprised
Dude. I wanna make one now. Not even to use as a grimoire but like for everyday planning or even journaling. It would really boost the mood!!!
This is my first time watching someone making a book and HOLY SNAP! That was amazing? Yeah! I'd love to have a book like that or a shelf full of hand-made books like that... You are awesome
That's absolutely gorgeous. The amount of details is amazing to watch!
But goddamn I kept asking myself "whyyyyy don't you use a brush to spread all that glue" ??? getting it off is a pain in the booty
It's wood glue so not really. I really enjoy the feeling of peeling it off my skin.
Wood glue peels off in sheets, and it looks like you're peeling off your skin
because brushes leave streaks
she's commented in one of her other videos that she prefers using her fingers as opposed to a brush.
I feel a new hyper-fixation coming along… I must learn how to do this.
Dude it is addicting, i’ve made 2 sketchbooks so far and it’s so fun! I’m on the hunt for more sketchbook paper just so i can make another
Its also expensive for good paper. At least where I am.
this is absolutely AMAZING, you have a very special gift
I wish you could make the book from Hocus Pocus. The spell book/Grimoire in that movie is so detailed that I know you would be able to pull it off.
I was just looking for more ways to embellish a cover but that coping saw technique for the holes is Game Changing for making larger books!!!! :O
I need this book my life IMMEDIATELY it's so beautiful
You noticed she put it up for sale on ebay right? Good luck =)
Its 500 dollars on her website:)
Girl, save old used up credit/gift/whatever cards to spread glue. It'll save your fingers!
Beautiful work, and I loved your lap cats!
i mean you cant say that peeling pva glue off your fingers is NOT the most satisfying thing ever
@@edenmac7751 I'd rather not get sticky in the first place, but that's true.
I come back and watch this every cpl months, I don't know why, I wish I was half as talented as this chick! And the patience astounds me! 👏👏👏Well Done!!
martina: mentions glue
martina: starts watering at the mouth
I just wanna do this and fill it with spells and my character builds in ESO and Shit I used when I played DND.
I'd like to do this with the rule books.
imagine someone who has no idea what d&d is finding that in 500 years
I used to really love doing book binding back in 1993. I really should get back into it.
Absolutely beautiful! I've made a few small books. I've been wanting to try a bigger project. This has inspired me, thank you! I've also watched your other book making videos and subscribed. Your work is amazing
Did I just watch a be"witch"ing woman make the most beautiful book I've seen this year? I couldn't stop watching... amazing!!
I'm addicted to your videos! Where's the link to buy the book??? Make more, more! I want one! The music adds so much to the demonstrations, great selections.
I'm not sure why people are surprised by the amount of glue used. Back in the good ol' days. Just as much animal glue was used when making books.
Like you said, that was in the good old days. This amount of glue isn't used in a lot of books, so it's a surprise.
