  • Folded Page Books are an unusual art form, and Tim's friend Gerard Darby returns to the Grand Illusions studio to show some extraordinary examples.
    In some cases, every page in the book is folded in exactly the same way - normally there are several folds. This will mean that instead of the edges of the pages being flat, there will now be a three dimensional shape.
    However it is also possible to gradually vary the folding as you work through the pages of the book, which creates a more complex 3D shape.

    I actually did this to about 100 books or so but then the library kicked me out. Some people don't appreciate art.

    I gave only discovered your channel today August 2022, but some of your "toys" are very interesting and fun.
    This video demonstrates a craft/hobby called book folding. I have done several myself with some simple or complicated, intricate pictures and/or messages. There are two different techniques folding and cut and fold.
    It's very time consuming as each page has to be exact to less than 1mm of accuracy but can be really gorgeous.
    Cut and fold is the most demanding in terms of concentration and time, as cuts once made, cannot be uncut.
    I had to stop doing them in the end as they take up quite a lot of room to display. I used to decorate the covers as well and give them as gifts as well as kept some myself.
    I had to stop making them in the end as we all ran out of room to display them properly.
    Keep giving fun with your toys! :-D

      There's no need for captions, unless you can't speak English, though perhaps I may understand better because of all the British television I have watched on PBS my whole life. And there's the Monty Python and film. It's a tad subtle I guess, lilty.

      @@hiimcrazyfordrwho ah! I thought they offered it or something as a service for disabled folk. Yes, I always believed the hard of hearing etc have always not had it easy at all. I wanted to petition the government to but a section of wave and color on the TV screen so one could see dramatic moments in the music of a film which is drastic to the plot line of a story.
