The first thing that would have come to my mind when I thought of book arts would be designing a book cover or illustrating a few of its pages. I would have never imagined that I would actually create them from scratch; use different concepts and make 'out of the box' books which challenge the concept of a traditional book.
For my book arts project I made a ' slow book', a 'book that gets bigger' and an 'endless book'. I like all three of them , but I feel that the last one is the most interesting. It is a very delicate book. Its modeled on a credit card being like a magic wand. Its very tempting to use it, but if you overspend then you get broke. If the book isn't handled properly then it'll break
Moving on to, quite literally, building a type machine. I have to say, I was a bit nervous about this one,having never, well, built a proper machine before. But it turned out to be one of the most fun and interesting project.We collected a load of junk and then created the machine out of it. The most interesting part of it was figuring out how to make a working mechanism from a variety of things. Also, it was amazing to discover the inside of an old television by dismantling it.
