Weekend-Bookend #3

I worked with a mixed age group to make “paper quilt” pieces. Students started with a Domino shape,  cut some  in half to make squares, cut some of those in half to make scaled down dominoes, cut some in half again to make scaled down squares ( AKA baby squares).

These weekly Weekend-Bookend posts are sort of like a snap shot of something from my studio or something that I’m thinking about, accompanied by just a small bit of writing.

I wasn’t able to get to writing a regular post this week, but this Weekend-Bookend post is something that I can get to.

“I’m going to try out posting a Weekend-Bookend image each weekend which will be sort of like a snap shot of something from my studio. These posts will be images my handmade books, drawings, details of drawings or some paper engineering that I want to show, accompanied by just a small bit of writing.”

Weekend-Bookend #1

These three little books were each made from one copied, decorated paper which was  cut, nested and sewn. I was playing with simplicity here as well as thinking about ways in which whole decorations can be partitioned into pages.
