Book Sculptures

1. Find the center of your book and open the book so it lies flat.
2. Experiment with different page folds, page curls, and repeating patterns. For example, gather three pages and curl them into the center of the book. Repeating this pattern will create a floral type presentation when viewed from the top or bottom of the book. Another example is to fold different sets of pages one way, and then fold another in the opposite direction. For these sets, it is best to fold single pages and repeat the same fold for at least 25 pages before switching to the opposite direction.
3. Continue folding, or curling and experimenting with other techniques you feel inspired to try until there’s about 10 or 15 pages left on each side of the book.
