Enjoy!
My samples so far from this amazing book!
My variation on the tree fold introduces a long leaf followed by a short one and then a long one. That way half of the leaves (pages) are hidden from view. The possibilities for a book are endless.
The same book open.
The Blizzard Box invented by Bill Hanscom and Hedi Kyle. I also make a square version (in blue).
The Blizzard boxes nested and holding some of my sea glass.
The Star Box is very satisfying to make as Hedi's dimensions give you a perfectly nested box and cover all in one.
Three variations of the School Book Wrapper, 2 with pleats and one without. I used book cloth to make these as it is sturdy and folds nicely around journal inserts.
This structure was new to me and I loved playing with the pop-up. I ended up creating a shape that I could fold into cranes.
I love the simplicity and creativity of this book. The triangle structure is unusual, but it fits so nicely into the covers. I can't wait to use it for an actual artist's book.
Another simple, but effective book structure is this Pocket Accordion with Separate Cover. I had fun coming up with the cat closure.
The Crown Greeting Card is lovely and easy to make.
I have made many Blizzard Books over the years; it was one of the first Hedi Kyle structures I learned. I never thought to create this kind of structure though. Thank goodness for Hedi and this book!
The Telescoping Ziggurat was a new structure to me and I enjoyed folding it and creating two pieces from one structure by cutting the very long strip of paper on the diagonal so that it rises up like a tower.
