Flip flop hinge concertina book


We had an enjoyable meeting trying out a new hinge method for concertina-type books, as discovered by Frances  from Automata making.  She  carefully led us  through the making of the flexible method so we all created an interesting collaged piece of work.




Everyone ended up with a complete 4 page book.   After the making, we discussed how flexible the method  could be in making more complicated structures   and Jac has gone away to play and see what she can come up with. 



Our table , which ended up being two, at the Liverpool Book Fair was very successful, and good sales were made, plus the usual conversations with people interested in techniques. Lots of flyers were given out.




We discussed the possibility of a May event next year, and members were asked to think about whether we wish to exhibit at The Atkinson in Southport  next year.   More to follow once details are received

Our theme for the next two months will be ‘light’; this is an optional theme for anyone interested as there is no compulsion to make a book to this or any other theme.

Our last meeting of the year will be on December 6th, when we will be going Christmas Crackers!   We will enjoy our usual bring and share nibbles with mulled apple juice to drink.
