New Art Books

The third version of the art books is similarly titled. It's "A Little Book of Metamorphosis", subtitled "Five Caterpillars, Four Moths, One Butterfly". I found some gorgeous handmade marbled paper to use on the cover and to trim each page. This one can be viewed flat, with each caterpillar paired with its moth or butterfly on facing pages. However, it's mostly meant to be seen standing, with the pages radiating from the center. Tabs can be pulled up from each page for identification.

I'm now working on a new hanging version. Boy, these take forever to figure out and put together! I'm really having fun, though.

New Art Books

I've been working on some new versions of art books using the moth, butterfly, and caterpillar images. They are all variations on "Little Book of Metamorphosis".
The first one, also shown in an earlier post, is a large hanging one meant to be seen on both sides. That one has the cumbersome title "Five Caterpillars, Four Moths, One Butterfly - A Hanging Book of Metamorphosis". The species names and caterpillars are all on the back sides of the moth/butterfly images.

Next came "Five Caterpillars, Four Moths, One Butterfly - A Folding Book of Metamorphosis". This one is in a natural colored case covered with fibrous handmade paper to resemble a cocoon. The book can open flat or unfold and stand accordion-style.
It is also two-sided, with all the caterpillars on one side. Identification tabs can be pulled up from each "page".
