I once bound a book as a gift and it was such a fun experience that makes you think how incredibly boring mass produced books are. I bound mine in patterned velvet that was intended for furniture and it turned out to be a great choice as the texture and visuals fit a book - something you hold in your hands in direct light - much better than a sofa or a chair.
- ycombinete 3y agoI have found this experience across all kinds of crafts. From making bread, yoghurt, leather work, art in the home etc. The crappy [0] stuff I’ve built with my own hands is so precious to me. [0] my bread is exquisite though!

- ycombinete 3y agoHey, thanks for commenting here! Much like the top comment on that thread I completely ignored that post yesterday because I thought that it was “going to be yet another javascript frontend framework with yet another less than descriptive name” So I’m glad you mentioned it :). I’ll check it out for sure as I’ve also spent some time making Sourdoughs. I generally prefer instant yeasts for their agility. You can really experiment with them since the opportunity cost is so low. I.e. if you mess up a sourdough you’ve lost like 12-24 hours of work, vs 2.5 hours.
