Just discovered this reddit and it made me think of one of the most photogenic moments of my life. I was laughing at being photographed while covered in dust and bird poop (long days work.) Zoom in for disembodied foot
First time learning hand building and trying sgraffito! Done with slab method
I made this for my sister who likes to tape a lot of things into her journals. The accordion will allow the interior spine to grow with the book as she uses it, while the spine of the hardcover is double the thickness of the book to accommodate closing nicely once the journal is completed. The book has 4 signatures (116 grid pgs that I risograph printed with sunflower ink) sewn onto the peaks of the accordion, and 3 gatefolds (that open up to 17 inches) sewn into the valleys. I did a lot of planning/illustrating before I started this because I had no time for a mock up!! Luckily it all worked out.
