About the Diagonal Pocket Fold Book
With its multiple pockets, the Diagonal Pocket is an ideal structure to have on hand to keep documents or collect ephemera.
– Hedi Kyle, The Art of the Fold
The Diagonal Pocket Fold is a cool structure that has lots of pockets for small, flat items. These will get a pamphlet sewn in them to create a handy journal with room for storage!
The pocket blizzard book – ours will be business card sized, but you will have the knowledge to customize it to fit anything. The handy pockets offer a place to store flat treasures.
The signature blizzard book is a unique way to create a multi-signature book.
About the Blizzard Book
On the day of the blizzard in 1996 in Philadelphia, the snow piled up high in the streets and the traffic stopped dead. Nobody went to work. It was all white and quiet. A perfect day to spend in the studio.
Made from one strip of paper and using no adhesives or sewing techniques to link the pages, the Blizzard Book has pages that are like pockets. This allows for diverse content that can be removed or replaced making the book suggestive to adaptations. – Hedi Kyle
