Rainy Autumn Day ASMR Bookbinding ✦ no music, no talking

Get cozy and join me as I make a guestbook for a cabin in the Pacific Northwest! 🌲

I'm very happy with how this book turned out, especially with the addition of the little wooden tag on the front cover. This is a larger book than my usual projects, so I needed to improvise a press. I used Bradel binding for the book.
