The spines of rainbow text blocks. Stitched and ready to go. Some are gay pride. Some re trans pride.
A stick of Elmer’s school glue being held in my hand with my work desk in the background.
Many colorful bookmarks of a variety of styles, but all look like feathers. They will eventually be laminated.
Rockford pride logo, displaying a large R in the middle, on a background of gay and trans stripes. The R has the threads of a screw, showing that we are Screw City, inside of a circle that reads “Rockford Area Pride”
A view of my business cards! Showing off the shiny and purple.
A messy bookbinding desk, with some signatures pressed together. They’re various types of pride, being the rainbow pride, along with trans pride. Binder clips are scattered across the desk, with a few bookbinding tools in the background, such as glue, a jar full of needles and a can full of Liquid Death.
The Rockford Area Pride logo. An R where the shaft on the left is made of a screw and the background is the pride flag.
An image showing the “don’t forget to add alt text” message. The reply button is greyed out, due to the lack of alt text on an image.

My tools sitting on my desk. Everything is done by hand.
A pile of crafts. You can see finished books at the top, books in binders in the middle, and books ready to sell at the very bottom. The background has a lot of fun things. A decanter with a skull and cross bones, several mimikyu,and Zelda posters.
The legend of Zelda unofficial cookbook. Kiss of Death, a mass market paperback from probably the early 90’s, and a hardcover of The Wolfen.
A giant pile of books being worked on! There are completed books at the top, text blocks that are being compressed on binder clips, with some storage boxes, and a decanter of water.
A picture of the corner of a post office. In the corner a reindeer made of postal shipping boxes stands. His hooves are vhs tape mailers, his legs are poster boxes, his body is two large boxes taped together, his neck is two of the vhs tape mailers stuck together and his head is made up of two other boxes. His antlers are one of those glittery headbands you can wear of antlers and his eyes and red nose are drawn on. He’s wearing a green sparkle garland around his neck and he’s about five feet tall. I love him.
This is Husk. He’s less than a year old and his ruff is too big for his whole body.
A tall stack of books and boxes. Most in Halloween theme. A Mimikyu sits on a box with bats on the side, eight packages of paper in binder clips wait to be stitched together. Three books are in protective plastic covers, while another six brightly colored books sit beside the Pokemon. A Hyena Agenda bag sits on top of everything. To the left of the stack there’s a carafe filled with water. In the background there are several books with fun titles. Some of the books are secretly boxes.
Four books wrapped up in binder clips and silicone shields to protect the inside from glue. One is halloween treats on a black background, black spider webs on a white background, many many colorful cats on the next, and the last… well, I think it looks like decorative corn. But that’s me.
Four case covers ready for binding. Grey wood, one with a lot of dog related language on it, blue cactuses, and another one that looks like arrows/tire tracks in black and white.
A stack of paper. Bet they got a good deal on that at Office Max.
Three books, all tangled up in their silicone sheets, drying, one with rainbow butterflies, one with moons and space, the other featuring rainbow scales.
New desk setup. FNaF mat, featuring FNaF 1 and 2 animatronics, werewolf patch, therian patch, not every witch lives in Salem magnet, you look like a million bucks postcard.
Signatures, end pages, cover boards, and uncut spines on my table, ready for work.
Our new couch in the living room. This was during cleaning, so it’s a little messy.
Beetles and bugs on a grey background.
A hand made journal with a southwestern motif.
A book all bound up in binder clips and silicone spacers, sitting on my desktop, with tools in the background. A book with no cover yet is sitting to the left of it.
A photograph of the display packaging. No note of it not being able to be used for sale.
A strip of fabric from Walmart. I don’t typically buy sections this large, so I rarely if ever see this.
Many hand made books on a pile! Lots of different covers!
A book freshly finished, all bound up in binder clips.
A book in the process of being bound, at my desk, with HBomberguy getting me through the whole process. :)
