<\/a>The nearest of these squares represents the folds.\u00a0 Each square is folded in half, wrong sides together, then each flap is folded back on itself so that the folded paper resembles a W in profile.\u00a0 Open it up and repeat in the opposite direction.<\/p>\nThe first square represents the cuts made, two outside ones from one direction and the middle one from the other.\u00a0 If this has been done correctly the pages should fold naturally into a little “book” with lots of folds down one side.\u00a0 This is the spine.\u00a0 The pockets for the treasures are made using double sided sticky tape.<\/p>\n
The decoration of this paper before the treasures are even considered is the stage I’m interested in.\u00a0 Since each mini-square is a “page” in the book\u00a0 there are possibilities, are there not?\u00a0 The picture below demonstrates those possibilities.\u00a0 I enjoyed making my meander book and filling it with treasures.\u00a0 But I think I can go further with this idea.\u00a0 The construction of the book itself with its seven pockets gives the possibility of several surface designs.\u00a0 My first one was constructed from a piece of marbled paper I had made many years ago, … Continue reading “More meandering”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=511"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":522,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511\/revisions\/522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.williamsonfineart.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a> The back drawing is one image covering the whole sheet, in effect that is what I did using my marbled paper.\u00a0 The second one suggests one image on each mini-square.\u00a0 This will probably work best if only one or two images were used.\u00a0 It would look great if designs influenced by those wonderfully intricate tiles found in mosques were created, or, nearer home, medieval floor tiles, perhaps.\u00a0 The orientation of each mini-square needs thinking about!\u00a0 But I am going for option three.\u00a0 Here the design is a continuous flow weaving its way round the cuts which help to form the book.\u00a0 I’m going to design a dragon.\u00a0 It’s going to take time so don’t look for a quick result!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
