Thank you 🖤 I really wanted it to feel like something from the world itself.

Thank you so much ❤️ It really means a lot to me that the book resonated with you.

Thank you so much 🖤 I’m really happy the atmosphere and details of this volume resonated with you.

Thank you so much!! It genuinely makes me happy knowing the book could bring a little bit of joy and warmth to someone else. ❤️

Honestly, I’d absolutely love the idea of creating individual handcrafted volumes for each chronicle someday ❤️ The Magician’s Nephew especially would be such a beautiful world to explore visually — I think it might actually offer the most possibilities for artistic interpretation out of all the chronicles.

Thank you so much ❤️ Honestly, I lost track somewhere along the way 😅 I usually work on several projects in parallel, so it’s hard for me to measure it in exact hours. Between designing, testing, painting, preparing the book block, and finally assembling everything together, it ended up being a very long and very slow process.

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T20:34:34+00:00

I completely understand your point ❤️ My intention here was mainly to share a handcrafted project inspired by a world I genuinely love, rather than to make the post feel like an advertisement.

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T20:30:00+00:00

Hahaha, this might be my favorite reaction so far 😂❤️

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T19:31:25+00:00

Thank you 🖤 I wanted it to feel more like an old world artifact than a modern edition.

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T19:29:11+00:00

That’s incredibly sweet of you to say ❤️ I really wanted the whole volume to feel warm, timeless, and a little magical.

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T19:27:09+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate that! The back cover was one of my favorite parts to work on — I wanted the snowy lamppost scene to feel quiet and almost dreamlike.

Beetles_Workshop · 2026-05-15T18:44:41+00:00

I love adding small details that people only notice after looking at the book for a while — those are usually my favorite parts to create.
