Officially, it was for her cityscapes theme, but I couldn’t resist referencing her cute monsters theme as well by having a lil guy peeking out from behind one of the buildings. The backgrounds and buildings are all gelli printed, and the monster is from some marbled paper. The covers:
Such a cute monster! But also, I had to laugh because I read that last flap as “Cor, there’s a monster at the end of this accordion book.” And I read it in a British accent as a result .
@megwell
Are the panels all separate then adhered to the accordion or is the gelli plate background printed straight onto the paper? The buildings have a chalkboard effect that I’m enjoying.
@irid3sc3nt, I printed the backgrounds directly on the paper. My sheet of mixed media paper wasn’t long enough to do the book in one go, so the green section is added in – essentially, an extension. The buildings are printed on book page and glued to the background.
