Hi where can we see a complete list of the items you used and links on where you bought it? thanks!!!
My grandmother was a master bookbinder and restorer. As a little boy in the 70’s and 80’s I would sit in her bindery, under instruction to not touch anything, and watch her work. It is some of the most happy memories of my childhood. She’s long since passed now, but I have some of her fine bindings as a memory of her. Thank you for making this video, it brought back many happy memories.
I’m sorry for your loss binding is a really cool hobby to have
Thank you for sharing your memories :) was a pleasant surprise addition to my day!
I lost a grandfather too I know tour greive . I think u may be in your 70s and that's the same as your sub count.
@Aqsa Afridi out of pocket :/
I imagined the scene and god it was so cute 🥺
In the beginning of our relationship, my girlfriend gifted me a book she bound herself, designed with my favourite colors and shapes, because I love to write. Now that I see the process I appreciate it even more. It’s one of my most prized possessions.
Update?
Such an amazing gift to be given.
Bro won
she's a keeper lil bro, don't mess up
I know this isn’t a tutorial video but I wanted to say what a great video! I mostly used this video and it’s labeled chapters to understand the steps and reproduce the process to make my wife an ok/maybe useable leather bound watercolor journal.
Don’t worry, it will definitely be useable, and I’m sure she’ll love it!
How'd it turn out?
Oh wow I would love for my husband to make me a watercolor journal. Very nice of you ;)
What a precious gift to your wife!
You're the husband that every woman desires
If there were Emmys for CZcams videos, you'd win it in a walk away. This is sublime. The photography, lighting, background, and quiet is compellingly beautiful. At the same time it's valuable for instruction. Your silence narrows the focus down to a laser light of clarity. And no blathering chattiness is a great relief. Fantastic work!
bookbinding is such a joy when you don't focus on getting to the end result and just be present with each step. This video captures that feeling in the most wonderful way.
Although I've been making books for over 30 years, I still learned a few tricks watching this lovely, calming video. Thank you!
You've gotten me inspired to pick up book making again! i did it a bit in college - i love your work!
Oh have fun! ☺️
Same, I made 2 sketchbooks around 5 years ago, bought more supplies 6 months ago, now need to get back into it, it was fun!
I’m new to the channel and I have a question that I’m not sure was answered before: do you stamp your logo in the book anywhere? If not, I think it’s a good idea to 😁
I tried hot foiling with mixed results... I'll keep trying, that's a good idea.
@@bittermelonbindery about the logo: have you ever thought of embossing it on the first or last page? I believe it might suit well the theme of your books!
@@bittermelonbinderyif I can suggest something - I was thinking about a stamp with logo / signature that I could put on the last page (actually this decorative colorful backing page) of the book / sketchbook. I think I'll buy one, but for now I'm drawing my logo on my own. You could do the same! I also can send you link to my gdrive with pics of how does it look, if you'd like to 👀
@@nk7221 I recommend this. I stamp and emboss my logo on the back end page right before I glue in the textblock.
I got a stamp made with my logo and website on it. It can be a bit hit and miss with the results, but I think it adds to the handmade aesthetic- plus good for branding.
13:23 So no one is going to talk about the puppy eating nori?! I've never seen this in my life but it seems like a pretty ingenious treat for training! ^^
Watching this while going through a breakup, can 100% reccomend. Very calming and amazing craftsmenship!
This is absolutely stunning work! I can't put into words how much I am in awe of you and your beautiful bookbinding. Your camerawork and visuals too are just so wonderful! You are immensely talented and I hope you continue to find joy in your craft! ❤️
Agreed and seconded! So amazing
I agree - this captures the essence of ASMR.
When you slowed down the folding of the signatures my brain lit up. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your work is so clean!!
Thank you 😊
Very peaceful. Thank you.
I love your dog.
Thank you so much for no mid roll ads! It can be so jarring when this happens and 99% of asmr vids do it!
Honestly, I'd love a book with the short but long wide pages like the cut pieces you had from making this. It's such a great shape for writing!
This video happens to be the first video I have viewed of yours. I certainly discovered a beautiful one. This video is simply perfect in so many ways. Every detail has full attention and your presentation is perfect. I must simply say, "Thank you for sharing your art."
I can't even frame it in words how soothing and relaxing this video is! I mean I feel so relaxed and calm right now! Thank you for the gem 🤍
This is therapeutic!
These videos are really therapeutic. And Lucy is such a sweetheart!
There’s such a quiet artistic grace to how you move and create these lovely masterpieces. It was such a pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing with us. 🙏
Really comforting and inspiring
Thank you 😊
I really love watching your tutorial on how you made it with all the processes, I feel inspired and I can feel how you put effort into it.
This is so relaxing. I’m obsessed, thank you 💕
Your video filled me with peace and calm, thank you, thank you! It is a joy to watch you work. 💗
Beautiful video!! Everything from the folding of the signatures to the way you wrap them in the end - I love it.
no talking no ads and sounds heaven
Such a lovely and calming video, especially to put on the background ❤❤ thank you for your hard work!
It's beautiful how you craft the books from start to finish. Thank you very much for the video.
I really appreciated the lack of mid roll ads. Thank you!
Thank you for the support ❣️
‘Making a medieval book by hand’ is also an amazing quiet, beautiful, slow bookbinding video.
I'm in awe of your craft!
Bookbinding for me is like zen meditation. Love so much this video
absolutely wonderful work! I can't wait for you to reopen your shop. cheers!
Thank you for sharing your zen with us. Such a skilled artist you are!
Also, (and I mean this in the purest, non creepy way,) your hands are art in their own right.. tying knots and folding paper felt like poetry!
Absolutely beautiful and relaxing. I just took my first bookbinding class last week and it’s wonderful to watch someone so skilled execute the steps I learned. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing!
I’m impressed that you had no problems even with a bandaid on your finger. Thanks for a beautiful video and your lovely artistry.
Like a small child, I want jump up and down and clap continuously at how much I enjoyed this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Beautiful work!
I can but silently admire your skill and grace, and envy those whom were gifted such perfectly bound books.
Such a beautiful craft and video
The papercutter was so satisfying
About 5 minutes into the video and I was completely blown away and inspired by your incredible handiwork, patience, and perseverance! I love the books, sketchbooks, and journals you make!!! Your channel is aesthetic and has very calming asmr! I completely love your channel, it’s very beautiful!!😊
Thank you! A fascinating, highly enjoyable watch.
So beautiful. Thank you for inspiration!
I just loved your work!!! What a perfection!!! As already said here, no adjectives to say how wonderful your work is! Perfect, perfect, perfect... Congratulations!!! thank you so much for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for this and all of your hard work. I fell in love with every second and it absolutely brought me a necessary and healing sense of calm
Beautiful process, I loved watching.
your work is amazing and so therapeutic ✨️ time was flying while watching your video.. keep up the great work!!
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Thank you.
I just watched this video and it is now one of my favorite CZcams videos ever. I love SO much everything you make
Wow the cinematography on this is amazing. 11/10
This is one of the best videos i have seen thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.
Wow look at that it's as if a factory made it or something, you are a bookbinding master! Takes so much patience! Very pretty books
I think ASMR is so much better when there is a reason for the sounds - that it is connected to an activity of some sort.
Very kind of you to take out the ads.Your videos are informative yet so calming 😀. 💜🇺🇸
This was soooo beautifully done! Great job!!! Loved it tremendously! ❤
Exquisite work
I love book binding, and your videos are so well done and motivating, thank you for producing them!
This video is masterful. What a treat... thank you!
This is enthralling.
Thank you! This is inspiring! lovely!
How utterly beautiful! Subscribed.
You are so relaxing to watch, if I may ask a question. How many sheets do you use per signature, how did you learn how to do the stitching method? I hope to get to your level of book binding. Thank you for sharing, you are so awesome.💜
I use 4 sheets per signature, 10 signatures total, so there's 80 pages in this book. I learned French link from DAS bookbinding I believe... Sea Lemon just posted a tutorial for it!
I never knew that this is how it was done😦 i love it so much😍
I'm new to this channel, and I'm so glad I found it. Its a pleasure to watch something being made by hand. You certainly take a lot of care and time in making these beautiful journals. May I ask, how do you make the end bands for the spine?
WoooaW the books are so sooo beautiful 😍
This was so relaxing and beautiful to watch 🥰
Excelente! Gracias por compartir tu trabajo. Aprendí la técnica hace muchísimos años, cuando era joven. Pensé que ya nadie lo hacía de ese modo. Gracias 🥰
Fabulous work!!❤
The thumbnail of this all yellow looked so esthetically pleasing.I like it.
I did bookbinding at college, it was great!
That paper cutter is slick!
What a wonderful discovery for me! Wow! So beautiful. It's the first time I see how bookbinding is done. This video kept my full attention from the beginning until the end. Very interesting. Now, I want to buy the whole kit to do my own bookbinding! loll Thank you so very much! I absolutely love it! :) Also, the images are very clear, so we can appreciate all the steps of your work. Very meticulous, and delicate work, done with a lot of patience.
