As Sarah loves sci-fi, especially Star Wars, I thought she'd enjoy some Star Wars novels/novelizations. These two are Sarah-size hardcovers, so the pages are smaller than the paperbacks to illustrate there is a difference between them (because technically, all of Sarah's books are hardcover, but shh.). This looks a little like the beginnings of a Star… Continue reading Galactic Reads & Excited Droids

The Expanding Library
This batch of books I'm making is really large, as you've probably gathered by now. There are so many good ones out there, and I may or may not be planning another batch... but anyways. I've read all of Marie Lu's work, and I love her writing, especially her sci-fi stuff. You can see the… Continue reading The Expanding Library
Book Delivery
Sarah's copy of Wires & Nerve Vol 2 came yesterday, so I can finally post about this book! Eeeeeeeeeee! I received my copy from Book Depository not long after it was released, but I wanted to wait until Sarah had her copy before posting, so both copies could be in the same post. It's quite a… Continue reading Book Delivery
Book Shopping
So, Sarah went book shopping this morning... ...and came home with these. She'd borrowed Renegades from the library and loved it, so put it on her wishlist. Sarah seems to prefer sci-fi or dystopia novels more than fantasy, so I'm tailoring her bookshelf to suit her interests. I read more fantasy than sci-fi/dystopia, so I've… Continue reading Book Shopping
A Badge & Reading Recommendations
My latest little badge got pushed to the front of the queue of ideas as it's inspired by the Ms Marvel comics, which I've been reading lately. I borrowed the first five Kamala Khan Ms Marvel comics from my local library, and I love them! The design is drawn directly from Kamala's Ms Marvel costume,… Continue reading A Badge & Reading Recommendations
Another Badge
One reason I love these little badges is they're such quick makes, as I can usually whip one up in a day. This one's inspired by Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor, particularly Alex Fierro, who's a particularly quirky character and wears a lot of pink and green. The rune is dagaz, which represents new… Continue reading Another Badge
Dumbledore’s Army
I embroidered a new badge for my growing collection, this time a little Dumbledore's Army one (from Harry Potter). I've tried a new picture idea below, I think I like it! It was hard to take because my hands were shaking a little, but I like the difference in focus. Because this badge is smaller than… Continue reading Dumbledore’s Army
Cashing In
Naturally, being a bookstore, Flourish & Blotts needs a counter for visitors to adopt books from. The middle shelf is filled with notebooks, because using parchment all the time seems a bit ridiculous to me. Besides, there might be Muggle-borns who visit and just want notebooks for schoolwork. The bottom shelf lifts out (once the… Continue reading Cashing In
Books in the Windows
You know those windows I mentioned, at the front of Flourish & Blotts? They're window displays. On the reverse of these displays, there are two rows of shelves for new releases, which may also house popular releases. Eventually. The little book covers are stuck onto thin cardboard and blu-tacked onto the various displays. I made… Continue reading Books in the Windows
Finished Space Painting
As you've probably guessed, I finished the space painting! Above is a progress shot taken just after finishing the USS Enterprise, a close-up of which is below. Here's the finished painting, with from left to right, the Millennium Falcon (Star Wars), the Rampion (The Lunar Chronicles), the TARDIS (Doctor Who) and the USS Enterprise (Star… Continue reading Finished Space Painting
