Blizzard Book

 

This Blizzard Book was created using a single sheet of paper that is folded in such a way
that each page becomes a pocket.  Neither sewing nor adhesives are required. Hedi Kyle a book artist, designed the Blizzard Book on an unexpected day off from work due to a blizzard, hence the name! The card carrying size featured in her book The Art Of The Fold conveniently holds a business card 2” x 3.5”.  I constructed this one slightly larger and finished dimensions are 4” x 6”.

 The handmade Lokta papers I used are screen printed with beautiful life size golden ginkgo leaves on black background creating a serene simplicity. 

 I have added pages onto the spine of the book. The tabs on the tops and bottom of the Blizzard Book neatly hold folded handmade deckled edge papers suitable for pen and ink and watercolor. A simple slipcase encloses the book.
