Cutting up a book!
I used a Whats on guide for the V&A for the cutting exercise, i cut through the pages to expose some of the images to show a collection of events at the v&a i think it works really well!

Hotdog folds- experimentation
The Letter A, Hotdog fold book
It took me a long time to come up with an idea for the book, at first i was going to make a illustrative alphabet book but i thought this idea was over used and wanted something that i'd enjoy. Instead i have decided to create a book called ..A is for 'antiques'. i have chosen this as it is something that i like and will find interesting to create a book. also it reflects my interests and my style of working which will be beneficial as i am selling the books to people that have not seen my work before.
I would like the books to be a mixture of illustrations and images, i will think carefully about colour and materials used.
