I finished my first book-binding project! I'm so excited and proud!!! I know several things I'll do differently next time, but despite some wonkiness I think these books are beautiful.

The story bound within them is Suradanna and the Sea by the wonderful Rebecca Fraimow which you can read at https://rebeccafraimow.com/2023/08/20/suradanna-and-the-sea/

It's a wonderful novella and I knew it had to be the first thing I bind. I made one folio edition and one quarto edition, because I wanted to try both sizes to see how they worked. I'm going to be sending one copy to the author and I will be keeping the other copy for myself. (I'm sending Becca the one that turned out better)
