I wanted to use up some of my gelatin prints and so I created this small book. The book is based on the flag book with the fore edge of the pages folded and the back edge glued to the concertina spine. I like it because it closes nicely but also is free standing. Above are both the front and back cover.
This is the book standing. I was designing with the idea of utilizing the negative space left by the birds.
And here is one spread from the interior.
Have a lovely weekend!

Oh Roberta, this is just so beautiful....I like its negative and positive aspects:-)
Thank you so much Sue!
Thank you Natalia!
Love those books and the images. Looking forward to more please. Bookbinding is crazy fun. Rugg Road used to have a store on Charles Street and they taught book arts classes. Is it still there? I learned papermaking from Bernie Toale at Mass Art 2.5 million years ago. He started Rugg Road if I remember correctly. I like working with waxed linen thread when sewing the pages together. It's very comforting.
I have a printmaking book by Bernard Toale. I didn't realize he taught at Mass Art. I am not sure about Rugg Road. Haven't been down that way in ages.
This is great Roberta. I really like the design of the positive-negative pages. I love seeing all you gelatin prints. Keep having fun!
That's a beautiful little book. I love birds. Funny, I just came across your name on another blog I was looking at (Lori Moon's May flower Challenge). It's cool to keep coming across the same people here and there in the blogosphere.
I have some postcards left from the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap. Would you like to trade? We can private message on FB.
This is absolutely beautiful. Love the bird prints and the structure of the book.
