Accordion Book 02 - Cut & Glue

128th day of 2016.

I rummaged through my leftover boards in my University days and chose the craft board as the first experimental cover. Cutting them to size and then glue them using PVA glue. Lastly clip them together to dry~

 

Accordion Book 01 - Cut & Fold

127th day of 2016.

For this first time, I used a very weathered down old no-brand 300gsm watercolor paper. From an A0 size paper, I cut down a strip and fold it to A6 size. That would give me around 8 sheets of paper or 16 pages.

Would be doing a cover for it maybe tomorrow. 

Botany - Petal Shape

126th day of 2016.

Then to the shape. I have tried to sketch down in different categories, but not so clear. The sizes and lengths are all relative to the indicative pistil. I just came to know that even pistil have various different types. O__O

I stumbled upon a very useful website, Wild Flower Finder.It has a very huuuuuuge flower library and very smart search categories.

Botany - Petal Petals?

125th day of 2016.

As I approach Missphisity, the fictional country based heavily on Flora and Fauna, I would like that their representative flower to be a unique one. For this story, I would also love to have more fictional flowers since I am lazy to research for the real ones. lol.

So, the best way to come out with fantasy flower? Divide the flower into parts, search for the different characteristics of the parts and compile them into template. This time, I do the petal count first.

Then, to explore the shape, the size, the layout, etc.
  

Art Supplies as expected

124th day of 2016.

Good news, after been leaving the crashed iPhone 4S for like 3 weeks... the battery finally drained last night and REVIVED! A record shot of my art supplies.

Book Binding - Closure

123rd day of 2016.

It is odd how I jumped the sequence in Book Binding... Supposely cover should be done first. Oh well, since it is done.

I like the Magnet and Ribbon the most. I have also stumbled on even more creative ways of book closure.

It is fun researching around for creativity.

Derwent Onyx

122nd day of 2016.

After some hectic weeks, I went out to do some shopping again, looking at art supplies and phone. Forgeting that I left my camera in office, so... decided to test out the Derwent pencils I bought.

I thought the Derwent Artist pencil is a normal pencil, but turns out to be Colour Pencil, though it kinda erase quite okay. The art shop should organize and arrange their open stock shelf well. :/
