I don’t know if it was purposeful but the mention of the crescent moon and going into the pearlescent moon (hermitcraft) time lapse music is ✨mwah✨ chef kiss
As someone who lives literally on the opposite side of the country. Yes I'm freezing my toes off I'm starting to think we are going to get snow soon. But for me it's weird for it to not be cold! Like it's the biggest part of fall to freeze all your limbs off on Halloween night then defrost after you jump into bed. 😂
I’m from the North and I can’t imagine it being hot in the fall! Whenever we get heat it feels so strange. Growing up I just assumed southerners didn’t do fall traditions lol
7:25 Not American, but I feel this very much as an Australian when it comes to 'breezy autumns' and 'white christmases' cause it's currently spring here
I never knew how artificial seasons were until I moved from southern California to northeastern Tennessee a few years ago. Out here where you get real seasons the land itself tells you it’s time to cozy up. Of course there’s the actual changing leaves and pumpkin themed everything still, but it feels most truthful. The end of summer brings cool breezy nights and chilly rainy days. The whole month of September is a wonky transition of alternating between hot and humid 80F daytime heat to chilly 45F nights. In the morning it’s chilly enough to bundle up in layers, then by noon it’s nice out, and somewhere along the way it’s become sweltering and you pull out the shorts n T-shirts again for that late afternoon heat. And again in the morning it’ll be cold enough that there’s frost on the yard! Feeling the season vs manufacturing it makes a world of difference and has made fall my favorite time of year. Also mushroom outfit was totally necessary to show off. The book came out beautiful!
This is INCREDIBLE. Also I love that you used a basic sketchbook because for some reason I never thought to re-purpose my unused or barely-used sketchbooks from college! wowow your creativity & execution are amazing ❤ I definitely feel inspired to try book binding again.
As a person blessed with red and yellow leaves and nice cold weather, this design gives me very authentic autumn vibes 🍁And it matches mushroom witch costume perfectly
As a Canadian myself, I feel for ya my bro. It does get nice and cold during October, and sometimes we even get surprise snow, ah the joy of living in the Prairies where the wind can bite cha.
I very much understand your ambivalence about spooky season. I grew up in New England, where it was anywhere from 70 degrees, all the way down to below freezing, and even sometimes "oh crap, it's snowing." I'd wondered how different seasons and holidays would feel with such different weather, though I didn't experience it myself for a number of years. Now I live in New Orleans, where it is likewise 90s and hurricane season, and feels nothing like the what I grew up with. I miss the cooler fall weather I grew up with (but not the snow).
You are so entertaining. :) You might consider picking up a FDM 3D printer for simple extruded shapes like your crescent moon. Filament is cheaper than resin and you don't have to deal with the mess.
As a fellow Floridian I felt this in my soul. It looks fantastic Jess! The deckled edges look nice. Maybe painting or gluing in some autumnal end pages would help? Either way the leaves especially came out really good. Happy Halloween! 🎃
This looks so cool! It would be a great addition to any collection. Great job! I'm so glad that the DAS Bookbinding channel is helping. I know his tutorials have helped me immensely on my own bookbinding adventures. Just for future reference now that you're tooling your leather, you could probably use some antiquing gel on your stuff if you ever wanted to draw out the engraved details, i.e. the veins on your leaves. The gel usually comes in light brown, dark brown, and black, and you would want to put a resist on your (dyed) leather before you use the gel or it can get really strong, but the effects are usually more than worth it. Hope this helps!
Your "Spellbook" is so Nice... & it's so awesome how you're able to make your own Books ❤❤❤ On January 1st 2024 I began My very first "Junk Journal" and I'm obsessed 😊 I started another smaller one shortly after and I'm just about done with them both, though I continue to add bits & Bob's every now and then; I'm looking forward to starting a couple more with the bit of experience I have 😄 and I continuously look for more inspiration on UA-cam thus how I came across you, but you are way more experienced and your work is much "harder" for lack of a better word. 🤔🤦♀️
As someone who doesn't have winter seasons, therefor no Autum or Spring or whatever, it's eternally hot over here, it's sunny or rainy-hot day in and day out, I didn't know Halloween was an actual real holiday people celebrated until I watched the nightmare before christmas.
I’m also from Florida and experiencing winter in Idaho was a drastic change. The fact that I was easily cold up here, shows how used to the heat I was. Gotta love the difference between southeast and northwest
I second the thing about Florida not having seasons. I used to live there, and after I moved to Oregon I was shocked that Fall was actually like... real lmao
As an artist, paper tearing with a ruler is the only proper way to make your paper smaller. Not only do you get a more authentic paperyness, it also helps produce a straight edge… as long as you do it properly
I live in Savannah GA, so I feel ya. Especially since I grew up in the north and experienced all the seasons yearly. It doesn't feel like October this year too, we only just decorated our house yesterday too bc our cat had surgery this month and we didn't want her cone getting stuck on decor, Just not feeling very spooky this year, I hope next year is better (:
I'm also from Florida, unfortunately from the Tampa bay area. Theres crispy leaves on the grounds, but thats cause there's trees on the ground. Gotta love it here /s
I live in chile, in the south henisphere, so we have halloween in Spring, literally It’s sunny, with flowers and birds. After getting candy, kids get the costumes inmediatly off cause of the sweat, specially with like full body suits
This is such a cool video! I have always been interested in bookbinding, but it’s very intimidating, so I settle for painting over my plain old boring sketchbooks instead, thank you for listing the videos that helped you! I will be sure to give them a watch
As someone from the southwestern US OH BOY do i understand. I love autumn but never see it and the cool weather is like 75 meybe. loved how this turned out so gorgeous!
Dude, to add to the weather convo, I was born in the 90s, and I live in Arkansas. I remember when I was a kid that October used to be cold! My mom would make me wear a jacket over my Halloween costumes because it was too cold without it. Now, though, we're lucky if we get a cold front to bring the temp down to the 70s F 😭
For the thing about artificial fall and stuff-- I lived in Louisiana. It got cold, but not like..... COLD cold. I moved way up north to Indiana and OH BOY my first winter here I was surprised to see SNOW ON THE GROUND IN OCTOBER 😂😂😂
Those strips would be nice for paper mache Edit: also, this would be a great botanical study drawing journal for plants and fungi, especially fungi as you have the Shroom Witch persona
The book looks great! I am a leather crafter, and I can tell you the yellow colour is different because your sample leather was different - thicker, and possibly cowhide? Dye colours tend to come out more intense on very thin leather, and there's variations depending on hide type as well. As someone who lives in the Great White North 😉 I often wonder how people live in climates without seasons. Autumn is my favourite season, but I enjoy winter snow and watching the world come back to life in the spring never gets old.
I can so relate about the weather. I live in Arizona and last weekend we were still near 100 degrees. But today it's in the mid 70s. Where's my heavy sweaters? LOL. Love the video, BTW!
As an Arizonan, I’ve always thought that fall was overrated because… we simply do not have it here. I’m getting this warm, cozy, pumpkin spice aesthetic shoved down my throat when the plant life here is d e a d and it’s over 100 degrees outside
I’m from Indiana so I can agree but cooler weather changing leaves and snow I can do that except for the changing of the leaves. I’d love that so much hot down here.
very inspirational. I'm putting together a make shift wizard costume for Halloween, and now I want to do a "spell book" to add to the costume. (Granted it's gunna be alot simpler, but you inspired me!)
You know it would be interesting if you made it into an actual spellbook for cosplay and write in spells for the wizard/witch and maybe even using the dnd aspect to use the wizard texts to write the spells.
I live near DC but did grad school in Florida. One thing I found endlessly confusing was how the weather here and in Florida would match perfectly for months and then go completely batshit in opposite directions for a few months, lather rinse repeat EDIT: That scoliosis joke was glorious, as someone with disabling spine issues 😂
The over the garden wall theme with hurricane footage killed me XD Also, I will forevermore pronounce the name of my country can-ah-di-ah. beautiful spellbook! it looks like an authentic grimoire!
I live in North Carolina in the mountains. We get some good fall temps in our section of the state, not sure if their in your fall situation out on the coast.
Day 1 of asking Jess to rebind the Wings of Fire series. I've commented this before but thought it would be fun to do the "like begger" thing of doing Day 1, then Day 2, so on so forth.
24°Celsius?! Thats like summer for me, here its 4°C right now, here was some wind warning too i guess but i didnt feel any wind when i was outside...or im too used to this cold😂
When you said the store wasn't there I was fully convinced tthat he hurricane has taken it 😭
I don’t know if it was purposeful but the mention of the crescent moon and going into the pearlescent moon (hermitcraft) time lapse music is ✨mwah✨ chef kiss
My exact thought right here bro
22:25 Jenna talking about her “too much gene” has legitimately saved so many of my projects 😂
Sobs the kitty didnt sabotage, he helped you find the book corner 😭
i’m honored that the fist design was themed after my country “cAnAdA” , very whimsical indeed.
Honestly, I loved the book. However, the fact that Club Penguin Halloween music was playing in the background is what really stole my heart
That design is insane actually
As someone who lives literally on the opposite side of the country. Yes I'm freezing my toes off I'm starting to think we are going to get snow soon. But for me it's weird for it to not be cold! Like it's the biggest part of fall to freeze all your limbs off on Halloween night then defrost after you jump into bed. 😂
I’d love to seen one for each season! And then a special one for the Florida summer. It’s the Chaos Wizard’s tome
Ah yes, the Tome of The Florida Man!
I’m from the North and I can’t imagine it being hot in the fall! Whenever we get heat it feels so strange. Growing up I just assumed southerners didn’t do fall traditions lol
Same, it doesn't feel like fall where I live (desert...) but I'm trying to soak in the autumn season before I go all out for Christmas
Its raining at me right now
7:25 Not American, but I feel this very much as an Australian when it comes to 'breezy autumns' and 'white christmases' cause it's currently spring here
Jess. If you love fall. If you love the leaves and the trees. If you're tired of Florida weather. Come to Oregon. It's beautiful here.
Agreed that’s what I do every Halloween
i live in canada and the idea of hot weather in the fall is crazy to me; we literaly sometimes get snow in october 😭
I love your sense of humor, I think that's what is missing in the aestetic community for me.

Also mushroom outfit was totally necessary to show off. The book came out beautiful!
always a wonderful day when jess uploads
Those leaves turned out so well!
This is INCREDIBLE. Also I love that you used a basic sketchbook because for some reason I never thought to re-purpose my unused or barely-used sketchbooks from college! wowow your creativity & execution are amazing ❤ I definitely feel inspired to try book binding again.
Four Keys books is a great bookbinder. I learned so much and am looking forward to checking out your DAS recommendation!
The mushroom costume with the spellbook sort of reminds me of the characters Shrub mixed with Great Witch Shelby from Empires SMP. Really cool looking
As a person blessed with red and yellow leaves and nice cold weather, this design gives me very authentic autumn vibes 🍁And it matches mushroom witch costume perfectly
You have a subtle humor that I adore! 💜
As a Canadian myself, I feel for ya my bro. It does get nice and cold during October, and sometimes we even get surprise snow, ah the joy of living in the Prairies where the wind can bite cha.
The joys of making sure your Halloween costume is big enough to fit over your snowsuit, no matter what
Another beautiful book by Jess

Brava! Excellent job! Beautiful finished book!

Its beautiful and cute I love the details 💕
I’m only a minute in and you’re so much fun! 😅 I can’t wait to see how the book turns out. 😊
0:20 OVER THE GARDEN WALLLLLL
AND THE LYRICS ARE PERCECTTTT
Lovely work! Thank you for sharing your grimoire and cosplay - I'm still working on the gap between spine and cover, myself. Cheers! 🍪☕
We’re in Florida. I love cold weather too. I get so disappointed when it’s like 85 degrees on Halloween.
As an artist, paper tearing with a ruler is the only proper way to make your paper smaller. Not only do you get a more authentic paperyness, it also helps produce a straight edge… as long as you do it properly
you done a fine job, i am very proud for you, bravo!!

Just not feeling very spooky this year, I hope next year is better (:
I live in Texas. We get ONE WEEK in February where it's cold out. I used to live in Michigan, I miss the leaves changing!!!
I'm also from Florida, unfortunately from the Tampa bay area. Theres crispy leaves on the grounds, but thats cause there's trees on the ground. Gotta love it here /s
I live in chile, in the south henisphere, so we have halloween in Spring, literally It’s sunny, with flowers and birds. After getting candy, kids get the costumes inmediatly off cause of the sweat, specially with like full body suits

As someone who lived in west palm beach from 1996-2017 I understand 100% not feeling like its spooky season and having a hurricane instead.
I think it turned out amazingly!
And you've also made me want to create a Wizard multiclassed into Circle of the Spores now!
Yayyy!! new jess less vid!
Those strips would be nice for paper mache
Edit: also, this would be a great botanical study drawing journal for plants and fungi, especially fungi as you have the Shroom Witch persona
OMG it's so beautiful!! I love it!!❤❤❤
it turned out amazing! my jaw literally dropped at the reveal. also as a fellow floridian... yeah 😔
The book looks great! I am a leather crafter, and I can tell you the yellow colour is different because your sample leather was different - thicker, and possibly cowhide? Dye colours tend to come out more intense on very thin leather, and there's variations depending on hide type as well.

meanwhile in "Canadia" i'm already wearing my thermal socks and winter clothes
Incredible work!

I love that adventure zone poster in your background! Great video once again 👍👍👍
Oxblood is a leather shoe colour, which is probably why it's so specific
Hello Jess 👋 Crystal from The Bronx here 😊 You're absolutely adorable 🥰 & your video was so much fun to watch ❤❤❤
As a fellow florida resident... this hit hard 😂
Yipee new vid
Gotta love Florida weather, at least your in an area that has good things around. Meanwhile I live in a boring area.
In the uk arching this 21.03pm. Is 11. C. Enjoyed this thanks good luck 😊
Ur welcome n thanx.
I’m from Indiana so I can agree but cooler weather changing leaves and snow I can do that except for the changing of the leaves. I’d love that so much hot down here.
very inspirational. I'm putting together a make shift wizard costume for Halloween, and now I want to do a "spell book" to add to the costume. (Granted it's gunna be alot simpler, but you inspired me!)
Glad I could help.
I "technically" live in the south, but more northern south that Florida south so I do get the cold autumn season instead of just summer year-round.
Another absolute BANGER from Jess hell yeaah
Very beautiful❤
0:20 was NOT ready for the over the garden wall music
You know it would be interesting if you made it into an actual spellbook for cosplay and write in spells for the wizard/witch and maybe even using the dnd aspect to use the wizard texts to write the spells.
Hi Jess! Just to let you know the cover really looks like our flag (Turkish Flag) And it looks amazingg
Hi unluelifnil and thanx.
3:03 insane content right here trust me
Kinda looks like something Klee would use!!
As an Australian I understand the weird weather. Our Christmas is peak summer
such a beautiful tome! great job - only thing I would maybe do different is to add a bit of weathering... maybe some spiderwebs :)
I live near DC but did grad school in Florida. One thing I found endlessly confusing was how the weather here and in Florida would match perfectly for months and then go completely batshit in opposite directions for a few months, lather rinse repeat
EDIT: That scoliosis joke was glorious, as someone with disabling spine issues 😂
Love this
amazing work!
i just loved the whole vibe!
happy kinda chilly weather spooky season :)
The best part, for me, was leaving Florida and moving to Colorado. I like living in a place that has altitudes and seasons
The over the garden wall theme with hurricane footage killed me XD Also, I will forevermore pronounce the name of my country can-ah-di-ah. beautiful spellbook! it looks like an authentic grimoire!
I feel like most of my projects fall into I'm not a professional but at least I learnt something!
This is amazing!
I live in North Carolina in the mountains. We get some good fall temps in our section of the state, not sure if their in your fall situation out on the coast.
THIS IS AMAZING! I MEAN, WOW!! I just instantly subscribed
Thanx for subscribing.
imagine this as a dnd character journal
The cat's name is MUMBO‽ This may have been mentioned in the Grumbot video, but I didn't remember. Great video!!!
Great job. Woot!
Day 1 of asking Jess to rebind the Wings of Fire series. I've commented this before but thought it would be fun to do the "like begger" thing of doing Day 1, then Day 2, so on so forth.
Next time you do an emblem like the moon and star you could laser cut it out of wood and try electro plating it
YOOO NEW VIDEO
Yeah lets goooo
24°Celsius?! Thats like summer for me, here its 4°C right now, here was some wind warning too i guess but i didnt feel any wind when i was outside...or im too used to this cold😂
