@thecuriousprintmaker-emily I am thoroughly enjoying it so far! I've made one out of plain 120gsm paper as a test that I've got the folding and gluing technique right which I'm glad to say works. Will 160gsm paper work do you think? I tried 200gsm paper but it was too stiff to fold accurately. I plan to make mine out of photo paper with the photos already printed on.
Lovely. The way you have modified your work in each makes perfect sense. I don't usually branch out beyond traditional bindings with pages, but this format is so simple yet interesting and I like the way the viewer can take in all the images at once or focus more closely on each one simultaneously. Great instructional and very inspiring!
Love this and like so many comments below…I have bits and pieces of things I can’t bear to part with and have long wanted to make a coffee table book. This could also make a really thoughtful gift! This is fantastic! Your instructions are so concise! Thank you!
We had the pleasure of watching a Kingfisher swoop, dive, and return triumphantly from a brief dunk in the cold waters of the North Fork of the Skagit River, near Darrington, with a little fish for his dinner! I'm looking forward to immortalizing the scene by creating this story book. So many memories can be shared this way! Brilliant! May God bless you!
What a marvelous and wonderful idea!! I have piles of prints I hesitate to throw away, but serve no real purpose. This is something I must try! Thank you.
I have a pile of prints that I can't bear to throw away but they are just tucked away these books are a fantastic idea! The kingfisher book is gorgeous, Thank you
Hi Louisa, I am glad you liked the video. You can always make an explosion book with photos, poems or anything else you fancy, if you don't have any prints!
Your instructions for making the explosion book are clear and concise - so helpful.

I love this! I’m going to follow your instructions to make some. Thank you for your generosity!
How generous you are with your ideas. Preparation for these videos must take considerable effort and you have an agreeable voice.
Loved the books and the ideas especially the Babel one. cheers Kim
I just love it, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing! I love your prints. I am wondering what weight you would recommend for the folding paper?
@thecuriousprintmaker-emily Thank you so much for your response. I will try that!

I hope you make a collection of books - much better than prints under the bed!
Absolutely love this! Thank you for showing how to make it.
Thanks Faye
Your books are extraordinary! I don't have nice, discarded paper or prints to use, but will have to work on making some. Thanks so much!

I just love this thank you! It could even be a little photo album
Good idea - I guess there are loads of different ways you could adapt it...
These look lovely! The marble paper one looks really neat ~~
