Concertina Handmade Art Book - 'Abandoned Houses'

I crafted this Concertina /Accordion Art Book. I purchased the digitals from three different Etsy Shop sellers; 'CherylFrancisART', 'ArtHouseWhimsy' and 'BuyMyPrintz'. I selected the images I wanted to use and resized and printed on Natural Lokta Paper for laser & inkjet printers. The Pages were created using Handmade Lokta Watercolor paper and I used Hemp Cord for the binding.

The Poem is; (a favorite and also featured on my blog homepage) "The House By The Side Of The Road" by Sam Walter Foss. The Album /Journal has 20 pages and measures 4 x 6 inches. The Book is almost 8 feet long end to end when completely unfolded.

A little bit of page distressing and ink splatter were added for interest.
