Book 28: interlocking structure
{paper} yellow card stock with cream text weight paper for the hinges and wrap-around
{binding} this is a totally interlocking/woven binding.
This structure is from Claire van Vliet's and Elizabeth Steiner's Woven and Interlocking Book Structures. It's an amazing book, with good instructions. My great friend Lisa Beth loaned me her templates, as well as the book. Even with a template and the book in front of me it took a while to figure out the actual binding. And, cutting the pieces was time consuming, but the structure was very pretty making the entire process rewarding.
Book 29: tunnel book
{paper} pages: recycled packaging; spine: cream text-weight paper
{binding} accordion spine on each side, folded to allow for telescoping
I had wanted to create a tunnel book for some time and finally did it. However, I made the project a bit more difficult by making the book telescope. I thought the effect would be sort of interesting. I think the packaging makes some interesting textures. This book gives me lots of ideas for others... Hmmmm...
