Hi! I got inspired to do a Turkish fold zine after seeing your awesome one! But how the heck did you fold that extra piece to create the little cap holding it closed? I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

ohhh THANK YOU for asking 😊😊 i'm so proud of the extra piece lmao, as far as i know this is Original Research:

basically, when you cut the page to be a square, take the extra strip, fold it in half, and then fold the edges inwards (using the turkish map folded square to measure how big you need it to be)... on the last step you want to tuck those extra flaps inside the pocket. i tried to make a bit of an origami step diagram but not sure how clear it is, let me know if any of it is confusing!!!

Waterworks Part Two: Sober Edition

First / Previous

[beanzooka]

This typeset of Pentimento by orange_crushed was created by @teleportbooks for me in the 2022 @renegadeguild typeset exchange! (And bound as part of my Binderary 2023 stack, and look, I am REALLY behind at posting right now, and going to schedule some posts to catch up.)

This fic is a MDZS Wangxian modern AU set in a museum, where Lan Wangji is an art conservator, and Wei Wuxian is an art handler. (Drama! Tension! Meeting after years apart!) One of the joys of a well-constructed AU is seeing how the author recontextualizes canon, and I really enjoyed how the pieces fit together in this fic, as well as Lan Wangji's voice and point of view.

I raided my wife's art supplies for this one (also for the most themed photo op I've done to date) and used two different types of canvas for the book cloth. The lighter cover is just untreated canvas, backed with fusible interfacing and tissue, run through a home laser printer for the cover, and the title on both the cover and spine is acrylic paint using a Cricut-cut stencil. The darker canvas on the spine was gessoed and had a backing on it, and it did NOT want to stick with wheat starch paste, and only held with great reluctance with straight PVA glue. But it worked in the end! The endpapers are some of my wife's gelli-plate printing experiments, for a modern art vibe.

The typeset is lovely and elegant, with a title page set up like a gallery placard, and @teleportbooks included all of the artwork referenced in the fic as if they were colour plates in an art book! Look at this gorgeousness...

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out overall, and the setting was definitely fun to riff off with the materials used. (Although I will only use that darker canvas again under duress... or for something else where it's the perfect fit, honestly.)
