Accordion fold book from Finland

Another classic from Carina arrived a couple of days ago. I find it quite difficult to photograph books, but hopefully you can get an idea of how great this piece is from the picture.

In addition to bright colours, amusing pictures from old cartoons/magazines and fun stamps the book also features different coloured thread sewn through the pages.

Thanks Carina!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on November 6, 2013 at 10:44pm: It's a wonderful and revealing photo, Emily. These things can be almost impossible to photograph, but you accomplished much in just one photo. Fantastic piece by Carina--she never fails to be engaging and very interesting--for starters.

Comment by Suus in Mokum on November 5, 2013 at 6:46pm: fantastic and the folds look so precise and straight! Don't underestimate how difficult that is (for me, that is...)

Comment by Carina on November 5, 2013 at 8:32am: Thanks Emily. I had a blast making this silly book for you! The photo is great. Looks like something from the 80s :)

Thanks DVS!
