Piano-hinged Collapsible Star

The structure of today's book is another one that Hedi Kyle devised for using the piano hinge technique to attach the folded textblock and two separate cover sheets. I had this technique on my list, from very early in my 365 bindings endeavor but messed it up several times; however, after some experimentation, I think I finally got it to come together as intended. There are instructions for this structure in Keith Smith's book, Non-adhesive Binding Vol 1.

Piano-hinge Accordion

I made a piano-hinge accordion book for today where each of the panels is constructed separately then connected with the hinge structure, and on this example I used twigs to hook them together. I got the idea for this book from Helen Hiebert's book, Playing With Paper.

Piano Hinge Binding

I made a piano hinge binding for today. This is another binding structure devised by Hedi Kyle.

There are piano hinge instructions in Playing With Paper by Helen Hiebert.
