This book is lovely. I enjoyed going through it with you.

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

I came back to enjoy this again (9 months after). There is so much skill and it is artfully displayed. It would be wonderful to keep seeing more of you and your BOS.

You have such a beautiful writing 💝

Thank you 😊

I'm a lefty too! Merry meet. Your book is so nice, it inspired me so much. I make my own books and use them 'backwards' so the spine is on the other side. It's so much more comfortable. I envy you having a writing style that goes in a straight line, it's where I fail the most lol. Props to being a teacher, hope your class size isn't too large.

[@wrencalder318]

The only reason my writing goes in a straight line is because I draw lines. Without them it would look like crap 😁

I love your Book Of Shadows

masterpiece!

[@alleybearrose]

i love how you made your book you are very talented i wish i was just as good sadly iam not

[@wrencalder318]

But there are loads of tricks you can use. So I can draw from example (not everything, not the complex drawings) Use a lightbox (don't know the official word for it) I use it for the complex letters and the big celtic designs.

How did you actually make the book, the binding and all?

[@wrencalder318]

I followed the directions of Jamiebookofshadows (I think that's the name of the channel) The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only thing I did differently is that I used plywood for the back as opposed to cardboard, so the back of my book is straight and it lies flat.

I wouldn't consider that page messed up, it was just personalized by your fur baby which to me makes it even more special

[@wrencalder318]

It's even more special now since we had to put her to sleep 2 weeks ago. I'm devastated. This her lasting memory.

[@candacewilliams7475]

A really gorgeous Book of Shadows. I wish I was that talented so I could create my own like this. I made one book b4 it turned out perfect. So I attempted to make second one and it was a disaster. I had fun making my own Book of Shadows. What type of paper is in this book?

[@wrencalder318]

100 gram paper from an art shop. I don't know the name, sorry

This is a BEAUTIFUL Book of Shadows, I haven't decided on if I will make a post bound book for myself yet or not. There are several flip through videos featuring a post bound and I LOVE the idea. A couple questions :) When working on a page for your book, do you take it out for the sake of it being easier? It seems like it would be a hassle. My second question is how do you write in such straight lines?

[@wrencalder318]

Hi, thank you for liking my book :-D As for your questions. My book is always unbound and lies open on its table. I only put it together for the videos. I take the pages out because working like that is so much easier. I draw lines with pencil, write everything with pencil first and then write everything with a fountain pen. Then I erase the lines. I guess you can make a piece of paper with lines that you can stick behind the paper you write on, but my lay-out differs all the time, so I can't be bothered doing that. I hope this helps.

[@KidaRae927]

@@wrencalder318 ^_^ yes it does. Still not sure if I'll make my own post bound or not. It seems a little intimidating.

[@steben3318]

On drawing straight lines, measuring and ruling lines takes a long time and was a pain so I got a piece of mounting board (dense cardboard) and cut a series of 1mm wide lines in it, now all I have to do is put the board on a page and draw along the grooves, it gives me uniform boarders, the same number of lines per page and is fast. Yes it took a long time to cut but you only have to do it once and its lasted me over 30 years and is still good.
