nuh_sMore adventures with fanbinding! "mulberry down!!" is a short story/novella by Nicole Kornher-Stace. It's original work about portal fantasy and dreams and bonds up on the internet archive here.
I wanted to try out edge gilding (iron on). Sanding the edges fine and using a tiny iron helped, but it still came out pretty flaky and not even. I'm gonna mess around with the sanding more to avoid weird edges, and I'm gonna try using beeswax to seal it before flexing the pages.
This bind is a little wonky. The spine ended up angled, but I sanded the edges straight and then didn't align the cover properly. I'm still pleased with it though!
