Hi! my name is Anthony, and I'm beginning my journey into bookbinding!

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

So here is the end of the Red Theatre Journal's journey. I LOVE how it turned out! I'm getting the hang of the cut-out designs I think. Let me know what you guys think! #bookbinding #bookarts #novice #theatre #journal #openspine #copticstitch

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

And here are the covers for the Theatre Journal. I love how the cut-out came together! Stay tuned, I will be posting the final product sometime tomorrow or monday! #bookbinding #journal #comedyandtragedy #theatre #copticstitch #novice

So because I liked the look of these so much, and the layout designer didn't like the size of the photos, I am going to make 2 posts. This is the inside of the cover for a theatre journal I'm making. I chose a lacy inside because it's something different. #bookbinding #books

I finished this a couple days ago, but here is finished product with the leather cover I thought I messed up. The corner accents are just hammered on, but they add so much to the look. If you like what you see, check out https://t.co/PuQU1vfj8y to get yourself one! #bookbinding

So, I bought a bigger book press from Ebay...was a little worried doing it because I've never bought something from Ebay before but oh my gods. This thing is beautiful and will be so much easier to use! #bookbinding #bookpress #kofi #needsomecommissions #novice

New Ko-fi post!https://t.co/ZYsgiTULyU

So this is the end product of my hardcover leather journal. It is finally done! This one definitely put up a fight for some reason, but it's one of my best ones yet! If you'd like a journal like this, check out https://t.co/PuQU1vfj8y. #bookbinding #novice #bookarts #leather

New journal in the works. The spine will hopefully be correct this time...I was definitely not giving enough space for it before. Got into AC: Odyssey this weekend, so just getting back to this...check out https://t.co/0hkod9Nzvs. #bookbinding #leather #novice #bookarts

So finally got the desk for my area, it's so pretty, and moved my materials tower and tools chest around to make things work. I think it'll work, but we'll see how I feel after working on a couple books. Also realized why my spines have been turning out weird. #productive

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

So here is the finished form of the Hunter's Mark Journal. I absolutely live how it turned out, and the binding is coming along well! I think I'm going to keep this one, but I definitely want to try more cut-out covers or window covers! #bookbinding #bookarts #novice

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

Testing out how the cut-out look will come out. It's going to have 12 signatures, so that will be interesting to sew and line...check out my Ko-fi page at https://t.co/0hkod9Nzvs! Commissions are still open. #bookbinding #novice #openspine #bookarts #hunt

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

So here's the finished version of the Blue Diamond Journal for Amanda. I showed her the cover yesterday, and she needed it right then. The top of the Coptic stitch is still a little wonky, but looks good. Check commissions at https://t.co/PuQU1vfj8y! #bookbinding #novice #bookart

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

Trying a little window in the middle. Hopefully it comes out better after drying in the press...I love this though! Definitely need more practice, but that comes in time. Check commissions available at https://t.co/PuQU1vfj8y! #bookbinding #novice #learning #bookarts #window

@YorkCastle 1, most definitely 1.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

I've been here! It's so pretty!

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

Another one down! I really like the plain colored outside, with the fancy spine and end pages. Thinking about making a shopify website... What do you guys think? I'd still have commissions on https://t.co/0hkod9Nzvs. #bookbinding #novice

still relevant
don't @ me

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

So this is my next cover for an open-spine journal. I got the idea after trying the fancier patterned paper for an end page, but it was too crazy together with the washi paper. Check out https://t.co/0hkod9Nzvs for more! #bookbinding #bookarts #novice

[BooksbyAnthony @AnthonyBooksby]

Same as this, but with antique books...

I don’t mean to get too kinky on main but if someone could come tie me up to prevent me from buying any more gothic romances on eBay I would appreciate it.
