Each month, my patrons help me design the books made in these ASMR videos, and they suggested I make something Halloween themed! I'm thrilled with the creative challenge and so happy with how the books and video turned out. If I could choose a familiar, I would definitely have either a raven or a cat companion. Have a safe and happy Halloween!

The splatter technique with ink is far better than what I had thought. I had visions of you painting each dots.😂 This is why you're the professional. Lovely video.

[@HapaBindery]

Just preordered your book on Amazon! I have a lot of respect for you Chanel. As a budding binder myself, I really enjoy your established style, cinematography, and willingness to to share. You are helping me start my business. And per your other video about your trip to the paper store, I light up just like you do, so I get it. Felt my adrenaline pick up a bit lol… Keep going, you have my support❤

[@bethcrane5780]

These are very cool and spooky! I love the speckled edges.

[@k.embers]

I accidentally had this sped up at 1.75x from a previous video I was watching but OH MAN did it result in the most amazing tingles! This broke my tingle immunity I’ve had for almost a year now!!! Amazing and beautiful work! I’m really inspired to give this a try! And thanks for bringing a little relaxation into my day 😄

[@mgoldfield5821]

The cracking noise when you open a new hardback is always such a satisfying sound. Great work, thank you for sharing!

[@lenanana8]

I'm in awe of your beautiful case bound rounded books, ahhhh!!!! I'm counting down the days to save up for a book press so I can begin the terrifyingly exciting journey of rounding and backing!

[@abbylaz]

How did you know to combine all my faves in a sleepy time video?! It’s exactly what I need, thank you!❤

[@kmaggs7804]

Stunning. Great asmr too. Relaxation personified.

[@toshirok4481]

Although we live in a dark period for the world and we need the light (not the darkness) I admired your work and your way one more time!

[@trollg1544]

what do you mean by that? I really didn't understood what you said, sorry

[@toshirok4481]

@@trollg1544 Many people are killed now in Israel and the world is ready for the world War 3.This the is dark period. Halloween is related to evil and darkness(and devil, for Christians , who is the creator of bad situations in earth along with people).

[@dragnflei]

Wow! Such a labor-intensive process and a beautiful result.

[@monicacoqui]

Stunning work, as per usual.

[@M3DU5A]

Oooooh I love that laser cutter!!! Beautiful video Chanel!!! ❤

[@leslie4421]

Beautiful work Chanel.. Mesmerizing 🤩✨

[@Amanda.Jayne.]

So awesome! A laser cutter!! What a great addition to your tools 🤩!!!

[@MMMsworld]

오 책 제본하는 영상을 직접 보니까 신기하기도하고 정말 섬세한 작업이네요. 소리도 정말 듣기 좋고요. 앞으로도 이런 영상 부탁합니다. 감사합니다.

[@ShellyPotts-Journal.Binding]

Beautiful!

[@nikki.s.r.]

beautiful❣ may i ask what material you've used for the raven book cover?

[@bittermelonbindery]

It’s black book cloth from Book Craft Supply

[@nikki.s.r.]

@@bittermelonbindery thank you!

[@joshvaanand6981]

Subscribed... I love this❤❤

[@booksandroses1473]

So beautiful,💚 as always!

[@annahdz5807]

You are a GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@jfredmuggs3586]

Another excellent and peaceful video! Your edge sprinkling reminded me of my occasional efforts at drawing mushrooms and some abstracts - I like to use simple geometric shapes to 'sprinkle' several different colored inks on these drawing. Maybe you could create your own inside ( casing in ) papers! Thanks for a fine video...

[@bayabusiness1654]

For the spine did u mesure the thickness of the text block+ the boards or just the text block

[@batswarmxd]

what kind of paper/fabric do you use for the cover?

[@phyllisjeanfulton]

Lovely. I’m gonna dream about this. ♥️🧙🧙‍♀️🖤🐞🖤🖤🖤

[@sadepennbrook]

I once made the same technique as your raven cover when I was in school, and had the same issue with the fabric glossing around where I scored the silhouette of my shape with a blunt edge. Is there any way to matte down the gloss?

[@bittermelonbindery]

This is called burnishing! Next time I’m going to try a teflon folder because it’s known for minimizing burnishing.

[@vrushalichikane442]

somuch soothing

[@ChantelleArts]

such a adorable video, i love watching your stuff whilst i paint ❤❤❤

[@iscavengersam]

Wow, thats cool.

[@AmoraBrown]

Maybe I missed it but I couldn’t find how you made the cat indent, for the green cover. 😮 is it in another video? I just saw you cut out the black cat and paste it in. But didn’t see how the indent was created. I don’t know if I’m articulating my question clearly haha

[@bittermelonbindery]

The outline was scored with the laser cutter! You can do any shape by hand… patiently 😅

[@airl0ve]

is this a4 format? looks like a little bit bigger

[@Seyir_Kanali]

What is the purpose of the oval back? Is it for aesthetic reasons or is there a functional reason?

[@docfrayon]

[@Ldcin100days]

Can you do a detailed video of stitching? Love from India ❤❤❤

[@renaldorumagit4467]

hope you make a video for a.. photobook binding......

[@khanssae7]

Is there someone from Morocco watching this video? I searched for tools and did not find them. It is difficult to order them from foreign sites due to customs and tax fees. Does anyone know where I can find them in Morocco? Or what can I replace them with?
