VOLVELLES Bloom with Unexpected Surprises in June Workshops


The subject was BLOSSOM.  The book form was the VOLVELLE, a  book comprised of two flat circle "pages" joined at their center points in such a way that they can rotate independently.  During rotation, openings cut into the top page reveal words or imagery on the under page.

The form made our heads spin with possibilities and as always in these workshops, each person brought her own vision to the project and created a stunning adventure of a book.
