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.

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?

Got a new one. Resting state is a tetrahedron. Compressed state is a, um, shuriken. Interior rubber band pulls the structure to stand up.
Can use exterior rubber band (connecting shuriken points) if you don't have one small enough for interior.

Don't have a picture but frogs that can jump. Learned it from a friend of the family when I was a kid and practiced until I could do it by heart. Easy as hell to make, can be made with a post-it note and kids go crazy for them.
>>
>>623792
I like to make paper ships out of candy wrappers so I can let them swim on top of the water I put in bowls after use to wash them more easily.
I also like to make them on the go, although I throw those away more quickly without giving them a chance to swim. I used to try to let paper ships swim in open water as a kid, back when I was really oblivious to the environment lol. I think a remote controlled model boat would be cool... I wish I lived closer to the sea so I could board real boats...

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"

The face flaps are not folded in and the hand pattern is cutout and not folded. Not accurate.

Better but the hand pattern seems printed, rather than folded. Could be wrong.
