@333stalker 4 года назад

To me, sketchbook and silly doodle would be a waste of expensive blank book, use it for a more useful thing like a secret recipe to natural antidotes and cures and ointments then pass it down to through your following generation. Then it will be a truly magical book, the worthy of Grimoire. Then maybe get more book like this note more knowledge of our time, all of it to pass down generation. When the people of the world has fallen back and lost their technology, knowledge, language, political, arts, creation, and power, these grimoires from us will protect them.

Your book would look right at home sitting on the shelf in a Harry Potter or Dr. Strange movie. I don't know if you've already sold your book or not, but as I mentioned in a previous video, you could easily add a miniature Adafruit of Arduino sound board and have it make eerie moaning sounds when someone opens it up, that alternates to someone weeping, evil distant laughter, etc. That would really add to the creepiness factor of the book.

@georgemetos 5 лет назад

Medieval books we almost limited to religious texts for this reason alone. A monk would spend several years to decades handwriting the text into a manuscript (they were praised for their regular handwriting) onto usually goatskin vellum. Then it would be bound into a book. Books really became more widely available with the invention of the printing press and then more economically produced paper. There is a fascinating documentary on the Devil's Bible (its really just a large Bible with odd illustrations and a weird history) and how a monk pretty much spent over a decade teaching himself calligraphy and how to draw and bind the book himself.

@paly jefferson that's exactly how old manuscripts were made (hand written of course). You can actually lay out a book in Adobe InDesign and then have it print out so when you fold the folios /signatures everything lines up perfectly

@georgemetos 5 лет назад

You can make one of these for pretty cheap. Sea Lemon has some great videos on how. You can also get fake leather from Joann's for really cheap (since you don't need a lot and they always have coupons). You can reuse the board on the back of the pad of paper for the cover (you can also cut the board into fourths if you what a heavy cover, just tear the pages in half then fold again. A shorter book but you also have more pages!). All in all, you can probably make one for about $20 or less if you are a good couponer.

Absolutely amazing results! It really makes you appreciate the craft and art of book binding from years ago.

Congratulations you have really come a long way In the art of book binding and am now producing real things of beauty.

@bustin9549 5 лет назад

Innovation is wonderful but it's definitely easy to miss more wholesome times, where everything was made with character; the craft of every item was so intricate

@Mastattak 5 лет назад

That’s true, but when cheaper books were introduced, more people could own them, and that’s true for most things. There are sure lots of negative sides to faster and cheaper productions, and I too think that we all should be less wasteful, but there are also a good amount of positive aspects to it

@beaq6755 5 лет назад

I think the possibility of making books faster and cheaper has actually a lot of positive sides, because along with making them more accessible to less wealthy people, the lowered prices of production allowed to make more kinds of books, and also, now when something is handmade it acquires even more value and character.

@ManMan-tg2mw 5 лет назад

And everyone also starved or died to disease. Also because books were handcrafted they were uneducated.

@DojaDuxkEater 5 лет назад

Book binding is cool! But don't let that invalidate the work that goes into book creation nowadays. Authors then and now put lots of work and effort into what they make, whether its gimeless stories printed onto a page, or a few hours of work into book binding. At the end of the day, they can each respect the others craft, and people watching from the sidelines should respect that too. Just because something cam be made quicker doesn't make it any less valuable.

Please, please, **please** see this. I have a little sister named Abigail. I will pay any amount. You choose. Money never meant anything to me. Just a tool to get what you need. I would like nothing more than to gift my little sister with this grimoire. Please. I am begging you. Will you please allow me to buy from you? This is the most beautiful art I feel I've seen in my life. I want my sister to have something to hold close to her heart. I see this as the perfect present for her. I don't even pray... and I'm praying right now that you'll be willing to consider it. Side note, you are unrealistically beautiful, what is this? Why do you look flawless to me? I'm sorry. Hopefully I'm not crossing any lines by saying that. But, just, I don't know what to say. You look incredible. Your hair, the gauges, your physique. ...your style... oh, my God, your style. Jesus. Okay... wow. Anyway. Uhh. I hope you have a nice day, or night, I guess. Depending on when you see this. If you do. Hopefully you do. I know it would mean the world to my little sister and believe me, I would make sure she knew who you were, so she could thank you if you were willing to part with it. It's almost haunting how good it looks.

@@RossiaIsNoMore Gold leaf is in fact gold. But its been hammered so thin that its not all that expensive. I belive 80 mg of gold leaf is about 30 dollars.

@ABaumstumpf 8 месяцев назад

For anybody wanting golden decorations (gold tooling) - i would suggest using heat-transfer foils. They are cheap and easy to use, but you will need a stamp/tool for the pattern you want to create and a way to heat it up. But that is a lot less messy than gold leaf and easier to get crisp lines.

I just recently collected all the materials and now I'll craft a book similar to this! However, the pages will be black and I will write on them with red ink. Also, the stone in the middle will be a dark red too, it just fits better with the vibe of the other books I have made thus far, including the Book of Cagliostro from Dr. Strange. I am super excited about it and can't wait to get started.
