and now it can be told. Yesterday was
blackwingedboy's birthday, for which I made him a comic-book mix tape. And I cut my hair (well, that wasn't for the birthday, that was just good timing). I wish I had a working digital camera. I know. there will be pictures.
To make this "mixtape", I taught myself to do bookbinding. It wasn't the smoothest process ever, but the result was a two-sided book using Actual Comic Books as the signatures. I made the cover, cut, glued, and sewed the comics/signatures together myself, using the interweb as an source for instructions. It came out pretty well, and it makes me want to make more books.
One of the reasons I like my friendship with
blackwingedboy and
imtboo is that I feel that I have the freedom to take risks and try out new things.
Oh, and happy solstice!
