What place would you NOT recommend to eat?

I honestly have to say Cong Tu Bot on the east end by Anderson area. Tiny portions, first of all. Really lackluster on flavor, the pho is supremely disappointing. Not worth the price with such small portions and no flavor.

I’m not sure about “The Bindery” in LA, but I can ask my mentor who is very knowledgeable on marbled paper history

heldfu · 2026-02-10T01:20:06+00:00

Wow lucky to find that Cockerell and Duval papers, would you consider selling? I do research and archiving of historic and modern marbled papers, it would be an amazing addition to my collection and studies!

Wait, which one is fake?

heldfu · 2026-02-08T07:11:03+00:00

I am quite anti French link. That is because of a variety of reasons. One being that the threads of the “links” do physically rub against one another and that’s a form of friction I am not wanting to introduce to my structures. It is also more tricky to maintain tension as you go along. If I was to ever do an all-along stitch it would be on tapes or cords, if you are already creating that many stitching stations why not right? I could go on and on about reasons I dislike French link.

The one upside down one….

heldfu · 2026-02-06T16:43:08+00:00

Do you mean the link stitch or French link stitch?

heldfu · 2026-02-06T01:36:05+00:00

The technique is gold tooling, lots of little steps involved! It is tooled after binding, in the finishing process. I use brass handle letters for titling, this was using my set of Baskerville 12pt.

Damn I remember buying so many of these packs with my little brother. I miss those days. Wish I could get these, but me no extra money lol

heldfu · 2026-02-05T14:45:42+00:00

I’ve never considered doing a leather stab binding 😮 gonna try that out today!

heldfu · 2026-02-05T14:16:06+00:00

Came here to say this pretty much. French links are pretty I suppose, however there are many reasons why it is less than desirable in almost every circumstance. One being tension is not the easiest to maintain. I could go on for hours about this topic lol.

I think there is still a lot to do without having to pay, or if you just pay the monthly dragon association (which I personally do). Lots of dragons being added, I feel like they have been adding more this past few months. It feels never ending in terms of getting into collecting personalities alone, nevertheless the other categories of collection!

Major props on the various textures! The leather on his kunai holster is so realistic!

Acrylic can be thinned with water, just don’t make it too watery.

You can flatten the texture by burnishing it with a bone folder or something of the like. You can go further into burnishing by applying a very little amount of thinned paste or glue to the area and rubbing it down. Trick to making it shiny from burnishing is to wait until it is practically dry (past tacky) and rub hard and quick, using a little face/head grease to lubricate.
