made this little Link's Awakening pixel art tribute couple years back, never posted it here 4 colors, 160x144px

I’m joining in on the #KofiPromoteChallenge Check out my Ko-Fi here! 🦇 🪶 ko-fi.com/batfeathers/ Help a Trans man pay off medical bills so he can start transitioning again! I update often with pics of books I’m working on! Cute cat photos! Just someone following makes me irrationally happy!

I am really, really excited about these books. They still need to be glued, but they are trimmed and they are just so colorful and I love them!! Be sure to keep an eye on my Ko-fi for when they may be available! (Probably going to Pride first though!)

Nooooooot chapstick.

I hate wasting paper. But, because of the size of the end pages, I cut off a lot to make my 12x12's fit the 8.5x11. BUT! I've figured out what to do with the offcuts that are book themed! Bookmarks! Since I'm Bat Feathers, I'm making feather bookmarks from the offcuts! They will be laminated!

Oh hey! It’s #TransDayofVisibility I’m a trans bookbinder! I’m currently working on clearing medical debt, which is preventing my further transition. I could absolutely use your help! And you can pick up a neat book when you do! I typically ship next day! ko-fi.com/batfeathers

Yay business cards!! Mine came out a little dark, but the shiny really makes it look classy!! QR code on the back leads to my Linktree. Getting ready for Pride!!

We need to be a lot more conscious of bad actors at cons now. Please always travel in groups, or pairs at minimum. If you leave con space or historical lyrics furry loving spaces (think immediate area outside AC), I'd take the badges off sadly. Better to be safe than sorry. Now about media...

I had the worst insomnia last ight, so, at about 4 AM I got up and started stitching! ko-fi.com/Post/Text-bl...

So, friends, what do you do for insomnia? I make books about it. #IndependantArtist #bookSky

I made a new super cute bookplate sticker! These paper stickers are 3 x 4 inches in size and come in packs of 10, perfect for labeling the books in your personal library! Find them at albaillustration.etsy.com 📖 #fox #redfox #reading #booklover #books #library

Hey there Book fans! Did you know that I post updates whenever I sit down at my desk? It’s true! I show progress pics and updates as to what the bindery is doing! But BatFeathers, where do you do that? At my Ko-Fi! Following on Ko-Fi is Fun and Free! ko-fi.com/batfeathers/...

Put together a design for our collab banner to go on our table! @batfeathers.bsky.social 💕

If you’ve been noticing your favorite artists grinding harder than usual… that is no coincidence. It’s getting harder and harder to make ends meet, please consider supporting your fave artists by liking, RTing, engaging with their work! 🧡 Times are tough but community keeps us strong 🫶

Both of us have been approved to vend at #RockfordPride ! I’m working on some new books, but I’ll keep everyone in the loop as to where and when! We’re putting our payment in soon, and will be sharing a booth! I’m so excited for @krowslived.satan.social ! His first event!

We’re currently at JoAnn, @krowslived.satan.social and I. Buying fabric. There’s so many fabrics begging to be made into books, but there’s a 2 yard minimum and it’s only 20% off. I hate that I’ll not ever be able to access this fabric again. Ugh. I’m so depressed about this.

I've officially been approved to vend at my first ever event! See me at #RockfordPride vending with @batfeathers.bsky.social ,with 30+ rosaries in stock! I want to spread the Satanic love. :) 🔥 #Satan #HailSatan #Pride2025

my pride pieces are still available to license with minimal restriction, PWYW min. $5. make patches, screenprint, take to protests, whatever your heart desires. ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/sho...

Age yourself with your first gateway horror. I was but a little 6 year old, but this movie started a life long fascination with vampires. I remember peeking around the couch as my mom watched it.

Hello There! Here's a reminder to comment on a new connection or follower's post. Reach out. Make a legitimate comment. See where this takes you. You might make a new friend.

Making of Books is going pretty well. I'm devastated to hear about JoAnn though. JoAnn has been a staple for my entire life. I loved the stores, the wild fabrics, and the amazing deals. I will admit I loved the boxes and mugs that they sold around Halloween. I have so many cute little Witchy cups.

Any artists have experience with Printful for their POD prints? How do you like the quality? Squarespace doesn't integrate with INPRNT (ugh) and I'd like to be able to offer more print images without buying a bunch up front/warehousing them.

Oh what, it's #WorldWhaleDay ?? Whale whale whale what do we have here

Hello!! I’m BatFeathers! I’m a bookbinder! I love taking a stack of pages, some glue, a little fabric, and thread, and make a book out of it! I also will bind your book or fic! The largest book I’ve ever made was over 3k pages!!

I finally found my local book store!! @mazebooks.bsky.social I found several books that I have loved in my past, a new book that, well, I had to have, and I can get all the books I want from elsewhere through here! Such excitement!! Also, what’s this? The binding desk is clean?!

I think I need to write more. Yeah. I’m pretty sure I need to get these silly stories out of my head.

What a month it has been!! My desk is still a monument to the destruction wrought by tiny kitten claws. Our kittens are quite the jumpers, which does mean that they like to jump on statues. That’s dangerous for them and the statues, so we’ve placed them safely on my binding desk till we can get

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg... Here's a small sampling:

This is a Hail Mary: I just lost 5,000 important words to Word after saving the doc manually every five minutes over 2 days. There are no versions under Browse Version History. Yes I googled every possible fix - brand new Mac Air and a new WORD ver. 16.92 @mscommunity.bsky.social @microsoft.com

I realized I didn’t have a pinned post!! Now I do! Also… Hello to all of you new folks following me!! I’ll have a slate of new books available really soon, along with sharing my process, and my love of books, bookbinding, and all the little things that go along with it! Welcome!!

Hi there! I am BatFeathers, a small bookbinding studio out of Northern Illinois. I make books by hand, from a ream of paper and a strip of fabric to a usable journal, sketchbook, or a bound volume of your work! You can find me at ko-fi.com/batfeathers

Excited to share that I will have some of my artwork featured at a month long show at Thorn Brewing Company (no relation lol) at their Barrio Logan Location! #SanDiego

The love of my life has been in Australia for the past few weeks to visit his family for the holidays. This does mean that he’s going to go to Spotlight for some Aussie Exclusive fabrics! Aussie exclusive books upcoming in 2025!!

Buying books and reading books are 2 separate hobbies

Just got back from the post office and one of the best interactions with staff. She was so nice! I shipped off a book! I’m so excited when I get to do that!! Also, look at this little guy from the post office. I love him. :) The sleet has started, so no more going out tonight!

Do you write vampires? I’m looking for a particular type of vampire novel! It may be yours! I want to see it!!

To teach kids about using sources, my friend’s nephew did a project on coyotes but one of the books they got from amazon said coyotes are 23 feet long. Disclaimer at front of the book said author and publisher not responsible for errors “due to the changing nature of the internet”. It was an AI book

Hello to everyone who has joined me recently on my quest to make 100 books!! I’ve been super busy with family holiday, guests, cooking, and all of that fun stuff! I plan to sit back down in the bindery after the end of next week. I hope to have some new fun books available!

Give the gift of a handmade (paw-made?) this year from Batfeathers Bookbinding (@batfeathers.bsky.social)! A discount code for 10% off books in their shop is available at furryblackfriday.com!

Hey friends!! Want something fun to vote on? ko-fi.com/polls/What-s... Help me choose my next book cover!

So, Batty, how was your Halloweek? Great!! I’ve got a lot more books to work on!! I’ve decided to do 100 page books, as their price point is a little better, and I’ll be able to move more of them at fairs. :) So that’s fun! Here’s a little behind the scenes!

Hey there writers!! It’s November! I know a lot of you are doing #WritingChallenges why not get a hand bound journal to write your notes in! I’m BatFeathers, and I make books great for that!! Check out my store here: ko-fi.com/batfeathers

always remember that samhain actually falls a week later on the 7th now so you technically have one more week of halloween season to go

These are done! They’re now in their binder clips and are resting and drying. The last thing I need to do on these four is release them, stamp them, photograph them, and list them for sale. They’re another four finished, with another five to be finished tomorrow!

Nine book covers finally glued together! That’s my favorite part of making books, putting together the book covers. Now I just need to wait till they’re dry, put in the text blocks, photograph them, and get them onto the site. This will make 34 books, which is about 1/3rd of the way to my goal!

Been working on these nine books around living life. I’ve got nine text blocks with cover pages attached and four covers ready. Five more will be done tomorrow, hopefully! I’ll count the books after these are finished, and then start printing more pages and stitching more text blocks!

trying every item in your inventory

Hey book peeps. Does anyone write reluctant vampires who aren’t all dark tortured rich prince type, but the kind that has to work for a living? Yes. I’m writing it. But I’d love to read it too! #books #iwanttoread #writers

Small biz folks, quote retweet with your favourite thing in your shop right now! Ooh, I think it’s got to be this book. It’s just so colorful, and dogs are so great! ko-fi.com/s/1cd191b28f #furryowned #bookbinding #shopsmall
