After working in the studio all Boxing Day I managed to finally complete the accordion book. The extensions lead to a different direction and I ended up with 2 books. I have added the final piece below. The project was bigger than I ever expected but I am happy with the results.

The back section contains 2 readings that were read at the wedding ( web images of quoted writing) and an original poem I wrote on the way home from the wedding. I used original hand written sections of my original poem on the front panels of the book.

This project was a challenging learning curve that extended my ideas in new and unexpected ways. The fold out sections created an ability to create larger areas of detail and gave the book character.
