This week's book of the week is
The Book Carousel. This is the last of a series of books made for the class that ended last Monday,
Tunnel Books and Carousel Books.
A vintage marbled paper from England and my own pastepaper allude to the historic medieval tombs revered so long ago.
The Book Carousel is a
very distant relative of those parchment pages with birch wood and gold-tooled leather covers. It has a sort of buttressed roof.. which reminds me of a cathedral I visited in France a few years ago.
Inside the 5-panel carousel book, each page is dedicated to a type of book structure...
 |
| A shelf of cord-bound books... |
 |
| Japanese-style books... |
 |
| Longstitch books... |
 |
| and Pop Up books! |
So, that's The Book Carousel. A sort of shrine to books.
Some other books made in the class...
 |
| Christina's A Snowman Tossing Flowers into a Black Hole tunnel book. |
 |
| Kat's Bug on a Flower in a Cartoon World tunnel book |
 |
| Rua's I Want to Visit Mars When I Grow Up tunnel book |
 |
| Nancy's ABC's of Grandkids tunnel book |
 |
| Kat's Bugs of the Dirt carousel book |
A variety of sculptural books.. all filled with things we love or find fascinating... or are just silly.
