Book made by folding squares of paper and sticking them together. Experiments with page edges.
Concertina book with an alphabet theme.
The spine of this book is the outer casing of a biro. The covers have been made from a Thompsons Local directory. 
The pages are squares of paper folded into triangles. I've written a haiku on each triangle.
Small book made from two luggage labels and paper.
A small folder made from a luggage label. Pages have been sewn inside.
Squares of paper folded and stuck together.
As above but pages have been stuck together at different angles.
This is the cover of the book above. It's made from a plastic ice cream carton decorated with fabric.
Concertina book using an old "AtoZ" map book.
This is a tunnel book made from using several copies of the same postcard. Parts of the postcards were cut away, leaving the last one whole. It gives a suprisingly good 3-D effect which is hard to capture with a camera.
Handmade paper based on postmarks and stamps. The idea is to make a tunnel book where the viewer looks through the round aperture.
This previously made piece is being used as the back of the tunnel book.
The completed tunnel book.
The view through the aperture - the real thing looks better!
