Exploring Again

Here is a little accordian book I made a while ago, using my drawings of birds.  

I don't know what it is about accordian books, but I love creating them, and I love looking at them.

I think they are like a little surprise package just waiting to be explored. 

And they can be displayed open showing off the whole story, or one section, or closed inviting exploration.

When I looked at this one today, it made me want to add it on my "Want to Create" list, that is already loaded down with ideas!

  1. Such a lovely book! Books as a whole are on my wish list. Maybe they're one of those things that I should "just do it". Can't wait to see your next accordion book.

  2. Beautiful book! Isn't it nice to re-visit past creations for new ideas!

    I love the birthday book too! It's my oldest daughter's birthday today - she's 15 - I gave her some moolah oolah so she could buy clothes - not nearly so nice as your lovely memento of love :)

    I love books like that, too, they are something between a book and a picture, keeping a secret...

    1. What is wrapping the book? It is a thin strip of guaze like fabric. I love using it to wrap around books.
