Deckle Edges in Paper: A Beautiful Touch for Invitations, Stationery, and More

[psych-meup]

I don't give a fuuuuuuu...... who you are or what you have to say

Deckled edges/rough edges on a book are the best thing in the world. They're so tactile and sensory. I love the feel of them.

Some other fine choices: blurb, contents, index, verso

Bookish

what i don't get about sprayed edges is like. (at least for me) when you store them on the shelf you don't see them. cause the spine is facing out. then when you're reading you're not noticing the sprayed edges and the image is all warped CAUSE YOURE READING AND THE BOOK IS OPEN

idk like no hate to those who like sprayed edges but i feel it's just another marketing ploy and a push to have books as 'collectibles' and not physical tomes of stories you love that get worn over time

see i love collecting books and i love having special editions of my favorite ones as well. but when it’s EVERY new book now….yeah it’s absolutely a marketing ploy

also my other thing with them is that when you annotate your books (and atp i annotate almost every single book i read) it ruins the look of the sprayed edge. like all the tabs sticking out interrupt the design so it looks even worse?? idk i’m just not into it

So i realized that ive really fucked up with my prints

Ive been printing small batches of them and selling them, then printing more

When i was in college, we were required to turn in an edition of 6, numbered 1-6, all printed in one run. And i didnt really think much of it, i sorta just kept doing that. Printed a run of 6, numbered them 1-6 and brought them to a con

And now im realizing i gave people the impression that they were getting one of only 6 of these prints to be made, that they are limited edition, etc. And some are, i had some reductive block prints that cant be printed again, or some on different papers. But most i intended to continue printing and i feel like shit about it

Im going to stop editioning my prints and just leaving them as open editions now. I havent ever had anyone at cons ask about the editions or mention them at all, but im sure some people were under the impression that they were limited when they bought them

Kinda not sure what to do about it now. I might post about it on bluesky and tell people they can get in touch with me if they feel it was unfair and i can work something out with them.. but its also not like i was charging extra and tricking people, i dont intend on changing my prices or anything after making them open edition...

yesterday's library haul:

pasta, the spirit and craft of Italy's greatest food, with recipes

mondrian: his life, his art, his quest for the absolute

an interesting note about the mondrian book, it has a "deckle edge", the term for very slightly uneven page sizes in the style of ones from the 18th century. (the book was published in 2024.)
