Book Play: Creative Adventures in Handmade Books

by Margaret Couch Cogswell

Book Overview

Make books as interesting as the stories you want to tell In this inspiring guide, artist and teacher Margaret Couch Cogswell pushes the boundaries of bookmaking through twenty-two traditional and experimental projects. Start off with a beginner-friendly accordion fold book or a classic journal. Then open your mind with a rolling story dispenser or an innovative bird made from book pages Along the way, learn how to fashion various bindings; construct forms with paper, fabric, and metal; and create decorative effects. Conversational instructions and artist features will inspire you to find your own creative voice."
