Okay, this one is not good enough. But I spent so much time with this one, that I just show it to you. There is nice mechanisms and nice pages, but it not work as smoothly as I want. There is a reason for that, I do more and more pop up -book elements and lesser basic paper mechanisms. Because of that the binding of this book is not good. I know how to do it on future, but it was too late with this one - I need to build the pages in another way.
So, next one will be better. Maybe someone like to see this one too - so here we go.
"Explore the domain of the Pumpkin King in this stunning papercraft display by world-renowned pop-up book creator Matthew Reinhart. Then scream with delight as the scene magically transforms into the joyful holiday world of Sandy Claws.
You are cordially invited to explore two of the most beloved holiday worlds of old in this intricately detailed pop-up town tour. Halloween Town springs to life before your very eyes with all the hustle and bustle of Jack and Sally, the Mayor, and those loveable scamps, Lock, Shock, and Barrel, preparing their town for the most hauntingly horrible holiday of the year. Then, experience true paper magic as the scene shifts into Christmas Town, and bask in a whole new feeling of holiday cheer unlike anything the Pumpkin King has ever felt before."
OK so I picked up this Beatles Musical Pop Up Book for my nephew as a gift at the record store yesterday and the more I looked through it, the more impressed I became.
Although it's a bit silly-- I mean, it's a pop up book-- it was obvious that the folks who put this together were huge fans with a deep knowledge of the band's history.
So I felt the need to document it before I hand it off to the next generation of Beatlemaniacs...
Still reeling from the revelation that Darth Vader is his biological father, Luke Skywalker takes leave. A casual visit to a library goes sideways when it is attacked by Xenomorphs! When Darth Vader arrives to investigate an alien presence like the one he encountered from his Jedi days, Luke and Vader team up to save the galaxy from the Alien threat.
I've been sitting on this bind for months waiting for the @renegadeguild California Mini Exchange to finish before posting! I will also be posting behind-the-scenes images and details on the paper engineering, but suffice to say this was one of my most ambitious books yet. The endpapers are a pop-up Facehugger and Chestbutster made from jute marbled paper. The cover was made from real scrap ostrich leather I bought from a shuttered bookbinding factory. It was very challenging to get it all to lie flat.
I made this pop up book for my final project, the story is about a girl searching for her best friend, spooky venetian folklore and bad parenting.
I had a blast designing and illustrating it, although that first spread really tested my patience. Regardless of some tactical mistakes, like paper choice and discrepancies between print and digital illustrations, I’m very pleased with the result!
thinking about making a Good Omens/Ineffable Husbands pop-up book as a birthday present for a friend, i have 2 months and no idea what i'm doing lets go!!!!!!!!!!
