Watch in 4K for the best viewing experience ✨
Hello! I'm excited to bring to you a new ASMR bookbinding video. I now have a fancy new camera (the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro) that creates a dreamy look, and I'm shooting and editing 6K footage on my own. I'm levelling up baby!
These sketchbooks are made with 70 lb sketch paper and fabrics I brought back from Japan. I'm getting closer to achieving lay-flat case bound books with this design. They are going to be part of my next shop update - sign up to be notified at the link below! Happy watching and bookbinding :)
