“You say you love me, but all you ever do is cause me pain.” -Breath Mints/Battle Scars by Onyx and Elm

This is my contribution to the (Re)Bind Exchange made for @floralbearies Thanks ArcheristBindery for hosting!

I was excited to remake this bind and decided to tweak it a bit from before. This ouija board design is one of my favorites I’ve ever done.

I decided to be a little extra with this one and added hologram laminate end pages. This is my second rounded spine so it’s not perfect but I was happy with it. I left the pages deckled because the sanding was what I hated the most with my first rounded spine so I didn’t want to chance it this time.

State of Denial: A Dramione Edging Kink Anthology

My contribution to the #KinkyGalentines2025 Exchange hosted by @jmbinding went to my bebé sewinbind

This was so fun to do! I did a 3 piece bradel and decided to jazz it up a bit - Sweet on the outside, filthy on the inside. But my favorite part may be the signs on the back. #nutfree

Art by the incredible @artofcrumbs who just killed it. I said make it sweet and dirty and she said say less 🎀

The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy by Speechwriter aka @rileyredgate bound for The Nifty Niffler’s birthday!

We all have our Draco fancast, and I wanted to use Niff's for this bind of her favorite Dramione. I have to admit, I might be a blonde Tom Blyth girlie now.

Of course the cover is Slytherin green with highlights/ notes about the story. The typeset continues the theme and features the Horcruxes.

Cover is matte finish paper covered with soft touch laminate. Design was inspired by a John Wick poster.

Many thanks to my loves Hawthorn & Vine Bindery and @jmbinding for helping me tweak the finishing details.

Fanfic is free. You can read this on AO3

My contribution to the #WhenHermioneMetDraco2025 exchange featuring the fic There's A Kind of Magic in Masks by @incognitotoro made for my love Hawthorn & Vine Bindery

My inspiration for this design was Amber Valletta's Met Gala 2022 look. I loved the vintage 1980's pleated gown. I recreated the look with flocked HTV and gold foil on Hollanders japanese bookcloth.

The end pages are 85 lb marbled paper also from Hollanders and it was my first time using them. They were lovely to work with.

The typeset is masquerade themed of course.

You can read this adorable fic for free on AO3
