Hello everyone!
Here is 35℃ now in Kyoto Japan. It's very humid and hot.
Thousands of cicadas are making noise all day....
Anyway, today I'm gonna write about a pop-up book binding
which I did in the beginning of June.
Firstly, I reproduced the same book then binded on trial.
At that time, I had forgotten to cut each four corners.
The trial made sense!!!
Secondly, I sticked all pages together, cut each side off and colored it gold.
And finally, I binded like below.
The most favorite arrangement is to put a Japanese WASHI on the first page to get reader invited in my pop-up art world.
I have entried to a pop-up artist book prize in the end of June, so I'll show inside when it will be allowed to.
And next, I'll write about making book case.
Bye for now.
