Book art!



So I had a bit of time on my hands. Well, a whole day to be precise due to the the blanket of snow that has engulfed our street. Looks lovely but no one should really be going out unless they have those tennis racquet shoes on and a dog that has a brandy barrel on it's collar.



So I had a bit of a play with a book I have been dying to do something with for ages, not sure what Mr Spooner would think of it. I, personally, think he would be proud I have finally found a use for the maths skills I acquired at school. These are parabolic lines (had to google it, sorry Mr Spooner) and each one is cut out of a page in the book. I will fix the pages so that you wont be able to turn the pages when it is finished. (Mainly to disguise the pretty rough cuts around the lines) It was quite difficult as I just leapt right in with no real idea of what the finished result would be like and no handy "edit, undo" button to fix it if it went wrong. Am I the only one that repeats ctrl, z, ctrl, z, ctrl, z when I have majorly messed up?!

Thought so....
