pockets and envelopes
back to the cutting and folding – not (necessarily) books but could be used to contain a book or book-like/ish structure or somehow incorporated in a book. first an Origami Pocket Envelope which takes a long strip and folds it on … Continue reading
accordion books

Guest Book
More with just folds and cuts and a touch of glue, if one is so inclined. 6 folds, making a 4×4 grid, and then 5 cuts, an I in the middle and then a cut on each edge then what … Continue reading
Little Room Book
next was the little room, from a square sheet, with three folds each direction – or is that creases? – to partition into squares, then cutting an I (or H, as the case may be) in the middle, opens like … Continue reading
