The Fool

Heya all you beings out there! Today I’d like to showcase what I’ve been doing in my Bookbinding class this year! Bit of a warning, this is going to be a long post as I’m hoping to show off a few of my favorite books in detail.

First off we have “Bonsai”, an album style binding bound with wire. Inside there are illustrations of the progress of a bonsai that I actually own!

This one might be my favorite! “The Golden Record” is an accordion\maze style book with a wrap around cover. The cover is made of images that can be found on the golden records onboard Voyagers 1 and 2.

Inside is the story of an intelligent race that finds a Voyager and its record! The alien writing is my interpretation of my friend @thevantom ‘s conlang. This is an old version of the conlang, it’s much better now!  Thanks Vantom for letting me use it!

Since the book isn’t actually bound to it’s cover, you can completely unfold it to reveal a picture of the Voyager!

A close second for me is “Om Nom Nom”, a French doors/ album binding.

The pages overlap to make it look like the dragons are noming the food!

Next we have I tiny little paperback Japanese stab binding which I call “ How to Make a Japanese Stab Binding”!

I even decorated the bookmark with a mini book for extra mettaness!

Lastly we have an accordion concertina binding, “Aztec Deities”.

WOW! Did you read this entire thing? Thank you very much, and have a great day you wonderful sapient thing you!

I feel like this piece requires some explanation. This piece was done for an assignment called “What’s on your mind” and at the suggestion of a friend I decided to do my piece about my experience as a skeptic of religion. I want to be absolutely clear that this piece is not meant to be an insult to any religion symbolized here. In fact, it is a self-deprication of my inability to understand religion. The geometric halo represents my rigid black-and-white (true or false) way of thinking. Even as I “dissect” various belief systems, I have trouble grasping fundamental concepts, such as “faith”. I also noticed during the process of making this piece that openly skeptical views are far more likely to draw dirty looks and the like than mainstream religious views. Somehow, that makes this piece even more important to me.

Thank you for your understanding.
