Today I've found out about the latest tanteidan issue. It has steps for the mosquito on the cover, I would love to fold it. A digital release is not available and single issues can't be purchased; to get the magazine I would need to buy a yearly subscription. Moreover shipments from Japan can take up to three months in my experience. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay for a scan with Paypal, thank you.

Seeing this thread has made me remember a model of an origami bat that turns into a human-shaped vampire, which i loved (the one i had made lost its shape and didnt look like bat or man anymore). I lost the name of the model and google didint help. I looked it up today and found it (probably because of the season).

Retard here. What's the best or cleanest way of adhering separate pieces of cardboard/paper/laminated paper when making a card? All I can come up with is crude kindergarten-level stuff like taping the edges and using gluesticks and etc.
>>
>>628224
Gluestick either side and put a book on top to ensure good contact while it dries. If it is a smooth glossy surface that might not work. I think "tacky glue" is one step up from Elmer's kid glue. These wetter glues can cause rough porous paper to deform, so glue stick is better. Tacky glue might work for more durable stuff. Still want to book to ensure good contact and prevent warping from moisture. Also wrap tape into loop to make one sided tape double sided tape.

Suggestions for simple small paper (2x2) models that aren't any more difficult than cranes? My fingers are not so nimble at that size.

Also fuck tuttle's off-square stuff. Can anyone suggest good paper brands? I've had some luck with Kyowa and Toyo, but kissangel was more plastic than foil.

modular origami?
otherwise pinwheel or hats

Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.

Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.
Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work.

As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to
>linocut transfer
>screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)
>just print a paper label and glue it on top
Don't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials.

Where the fuck do you live where you can't find other sized paper? I personally buy Indian rag paper from Khadi papers. They have stores in UK. It's very cheap and of high quality.

I can't believe I've been checking /diy/ for a bookbinding thread for over a year now only to learn that it's been on /po/ all this time. I need to use find.4chan.org more often.

So I am tea dyeing and then baking paper to get a nice distressed look. I want to bind it with some this twine to keep a rustic look, but I am worried I will just keep ripping it.

Pic related is my test leaf I made from my over cooked pieces. End of the day this is a prop for a table top RPG, so it will need to be strong enough to stand up to handling.

Anyways anyone here ever worked with distressed paper or hand bound books? Any help would be great.
>>
>>628101
The plan for the book I am making is 5 leafs of 5 sheets for 100 pages, a protective sheet at both ends... Eventually I will figure out a cover but that isn't really a paper issue though idk how to attach it so it might be paper related.
>>
>>628101
Soft string, a cardboard cover to prevent tears. Leave the binds themselves a little loose. Japanese hemp stitch is pretty easy on the paper. If your twine is rough, consider painting it with a little starch and water. Dry, crumple, paint again and it'll soften up some. Try not to soak the bits you're stitching if possible.

If you want some cheap prints find the manual for Netstorm, Islands at War. Has some pencil sketches toward the back showing through the paper from the scans you can print them and then soak.

>>628102
Here's a post >>627082 I made in the other thread about bookbinding that shows what I do for the books I bind. The video it's based off is for a "medieval style" binding so that might go well with the theme you're going for. I've also considered doing the same thing but with a fully leather cover. I just haven't got around to trying it yet. I do like the look of those pages you've done.
There's also a good bit of posts in that thread that might be helpful for you to look at for ideas for the binding.
>>
>>628391
Thanks I used the less even ones for the test.
Some are very even and really look like parchment.
I used my beater baking sheet, I have a lot for art projects. Any little burnt on contamination will cause the black spots as the evaporating tea lifts it off.

I've looked everywhere and can't find anything the artist is called Ingrid Siliakus she does some cool stuff but wondering if she had any templates or does she keep this stuff secret?

Your begging constantly kills other threads that are about sharing and contribution to this little community, you're scum because instead of spreading the material you choose to replace a good thread with this bullshit, I already reported your email address, "Con los huesos de tus difuntos voy a hacerme una escalera para subirme a los cuernos de tu padre y cagarme desde ahi sobre la puta de tu madre"
