Bookbinding is simply delightful ✦ ASMR case binding process

Watch in 4K for the best viewing experience ✨

Hello! I'm excited to bring to you a new ASMR bookbinding video. I now have a fancy new camera (the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro) that creates a dreamy look, and I'm shooting and editing 6K footage on my own. I'm levelling up baby!

These sketchbooks are made with 70 lb sketch paper and fabrics I brought back from Japan. I'm getting closer to achieving lay-flat case bound books with this design. They are going to be part of my next shop update - sign up to be notified at the link below! Happy watching and bookbinding :)

I made some little felt books before. I’m with you that they are so nice to hold. The books combined my love of bookbinding and hand appliqué.

I love all your videos and this is another success. I love your awesome sponge glue brush and your gray toolbox and your various fantastic scissors and the book press obvs and the bone folders of course. Have you ever thought about doing book repair instruction videos in addition to ones with your original creations? In any event thank you for all your wonderful tutorials and lovely time with you in your studio

I use a strip of thick waste plastic packaging, the height of my textblock, that I have folded in half length-wise and puched holes into as a punching jig. The holes don’t get bigger with use and I can use it innumerable times. I find a punching cradle helps too.

This is really lovely! Your work is so beautiful.

I wish everyone a beautiful night and a good sleep! :)
