Still Waiting (patiently) ...........

Working at the dining table until the studio is built.
All my bits and pieces in storage in the spare room.
A good exercise in economy of work practice :)

Urchin






Another little concertina fold structure I've been playing around with.
This one is only quite small with a diameter
of around 130mm (5") when open.

Continuum





My latest project complete.
Had fun combining book making with paper cutting.
Had a bit of deliberation with the structure.
The final outcome is quite different to what
I first envisaged (not an unusual occurrence for me).
Quite a lot of cutting and stitching with this one.
Am quite pleased the pattern on the cover of the closed book
replicates the pattern of the pages when open.
For some reason the structure reminds me of
an old (pre-digital) b&w film reel.

I'm feeling confident the completion of this project is a 
jumping off point - not a conclusion :)

Continuum n. (pl. continua)
a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not
perceptibly different from each other, but the extremes are quite different.
