I honestly gasped when I saw the thumbnail... that galaxy one is SO beautiful!

[SweetIngenuity]

The galaxy edge looks so good! That'd be such a nice gift for someone, finding a copy of one of their favourite books and then customizing it with a painted edge to match its contents...

[ArtandAudacity]

Ooh, I want to try this with some glow in the dark acrylic on my bullet journal.

parent: "What the heck happened to all our books?!"
Me: art?"

[mimaaaaaa]

The previous Gilded Book Edge video of yours is my favorite video on your channel. It's probably the only Youtube DIY that I ACTUALLY TRIED!♥️

[Bluemoon]

I tried the galaxy one and it turned out super amazing and cool....I just freaking love it😘😘😘😍😍
*THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL*

A lot of my books had some really bad damage, and this has been an amazing way to bring them back from what seemed to be their end! I repainted my Hunger Games series to have golden edges, and it looks soo cool

[znycelondon]

Love this idea.
Takes the edges of books to another dimension . Creating the edge design to match the pages I side!

[yellowcrocus]

I'm obsessed with everything about spaces and galaxies and this one is wonderful!!!!

[sweetsunbeam]

Doing a fore edge painting with this technique would be really cool. You wouldn't see the design unless you looked for it. Like a secret piece of art 😁

[CocoRio]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! My favorite is the galaxy edge, but I'm really glad to see both examples painted. It was all so helpful!

[Melindrea]

I really like how the galaxy turned out.
Since I tend to prefer binding my books with heavier paper, do you think that would make it harder to paint an edge on?

[MomoMiya]

So I have this journal that I've been customizing for a while. and this was exactly the final touch it needed!

[hazardmuffin]

I absolutely LOVE your book tutorials. I've been watching a ton of book and bookbinding related videos lately, and yours pop up again and again. They are the BEST.

[amandaa]

Hi SeaLemon! I just wanted to thank you for all your tutorials. Your videos were some of the very first ones I watched when I first started to get interested in bookbinding a few years ago. Today I am a second year bookbinder apprentice.

[theresedignard]

beautiful! Your projects are always inspiring. Never stop.

[NiamhCreates]

That is really, really cool. I am definitely going to do this. Thanks, Jennifer!

[magnoliacelis]

I love that combination of colors that you use for the galactic style

[Vorachan]

How interesting! Two days ago I made a thick journal using the French Link Bookbinding method on the rib. I looked at when it was completed and thought, it sure would look nice if the edge of the pages were painted. Then up pops this tutorial and I adore the galaxy so I’m going to paint the edges to look like a galaxy. Thank you for all the fun art work to inspire us.
