Book #298

Flower Book

Today's book is a variant of the star book that I showed yesterday. The construction is rather reversed in this version, so the expanded book forms a flower rather than a star. This is one of the many book structures that we are going to explore in the Alternative Bookbinding course that I'm teaching next month. (Visit NS Centre for Craft and Design for more info about that.)

Book #297

Star Book

Today's binding is the Star Book which is fancy accordion really. So it closes up like an accordion, but when open fully, it looks like a star. This structure has become very popular as a memory album since it can be attractively displayed. There are some good instructions and inspiration in the book "Outstanding Mini Albums".
