Yep, I’m trying to build up a portfolio. There is a catch though – I’m doing them for free only if I can pick up/drop off at one of our Long Island doll meets (I don’t want to deal with shipping, only under certain circumstances).
I use: Mr. Super Clear Flat, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, Golden fluid acrylics and Windsor & Newtown brush cleaner.
I got this cute idea from Dollybird 13. Ingredients: hemp cord, Dixie cup, cardstock, muslin, wood glue, ribbon and mulberry paper flowers. Genius! It’s for a swap so I had to take some pictures before I packed it up. I did buy some black hemp cord so I could make another one for myself.
I made a bunch to sell on DoA and etsy, though some aren’t completely finished yet and are lacking endpapers. I think they’re all roughly 1.5″ x 2″, with one of them being a little more square, about 1.5″ x 1.5″.
Ready-to-print bound books for BJDs!
The Raven Part 1
The Raven Part 2
The Raven Part 3
This printout makes two copies of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. Each page creates two identical four-page signatures.
Instructions:
1. Print out Raven_01.
2. Flip the paper over and print out Raven_01 again. You should have a two-sided page with the same thing on each side.
3. Repeat for Raven_02 and Raven_03, creating double-sided pages for each.
4. Trim pages according to the crop marks.
5. Fold pages according to the fold marks.
6. Collate the signatures.
7. Sew signatures together.
Thread-bound Books!
I’ve tested this style of bookbinding a few times and each book has come out better than the last. This method is a little more complicated than my other tutorial, Glue (aka Perfect) Bound Books. It requires a few more supplies that may be harder to come by. Let’s get started!
A reposting of my original Den of Angels thread. I swear I’m going to make a book with type someday…
I had an DollZone tan Xi head just lying around, so I decided to give it a faceup and sell it…here’s a progress shot, I think eventually I’d like some mehndi-inpsired facial tattoos and decoration.
T-shirt and cute skinny jean patterns for Unoa, and possibly for other slim MSD-sized dolls (with a bit of adjusting, of course).
