Love watching these videos, and really any videos on your channel. Just discovered that you have tiktok too! As a long time viewer I never tire of your content, I could watch your packing videos on repeat for hours. You've inspired me to learn bookbinding, and it's going quite well! I hope to make sketchbooks and journals using old hardcovers from books like you do, when I get more practice and better materials.

[@lescargot.papier]

Thank you so much!! Let me know if I can help with bookbinding questions in any way 😬♥️

@@lescargot.papier Thank you! Im waiting on a delivery of proper thread (I've been using sewing thread to start with 😅) and then I'll be able to make them properly.
May i ask which stitching technique do you prefer? I've been using saddle stitches but I'm trying to learn more. Thanks!

[@lescargot.papier]

I’m using saddle stitch too and found it less intimidating. But would love to learn other stitches too but mainly I don’t know the English words for them so hard to search. I’ll probably go borrow some book binding books at some point to learn all the words so I can do more research 🥹🥹

@@lescargot.papier Thank you. I know there's coptic bonding and Japanese stab binding, which look interesting. Thanks for your reply

[@maureenperfectlyimperfectj8982]

Hello. A couple of questions if I may ask...Is the ink pad a clear glue for embossing? Once you’re done using the stamps, do you need to wipe them clean? Thank you for sharing your lovely work. Everything you create is very impressive and your attention to detail is exquisite.

[@lescargot.papier]

Hi Maureen! Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes. The embossing ink is clear and sticky but not too sticky so I don't think it's just glue. I don't usually wipe my stamps after using them but often put them in clear plastic bags to prevent them from collecting dust and dog hair.. :D

[@vesLy._.]

thats sooo cool how does that even work?

[@HisMadness_]

Lovely video and artefacts, as always.

[@lescargot.papier]
