Upon a fold

I wanted to share this great website and blog from Australia I found recently.  Thanks to the folks at Upon a Fold for finding and sharing so many amazing paper works through their site. Visit them at http://uponafold.com.au/

Easter Mailer

I designed this Easter Card to send as a promotional mailer at Easter time. It doubles up as a seed packet so you can grow your own peas and then use them in the recipe on the back of the card. My first pea pod has just emerged too...

New website

A brand new shiny website is online now at www.thebooktreepress.co.uk!

Reveal 2010 at Edinburgh Printmakers Gallery

Two of the pieces I submitted to exhibit at Edinburgh Printmakers graduate exhibition this spring. The first is an installation of a paper shelf and carriage clock inspired by the novel 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott. The second is a garden book, inspired by the Arabian proverb 'A book is like a garden carried in your pocket'.

Thanks to Angus Bremner for the photograph of the garden book.

Shop in a box...

I wanted to share this project I finished recently. The brief was to design a book made from one A2 sheet of paper. This slightly unusual book starts out as a box, but opens out into an illustration of a vintage or antique shop, with smaller books folding out into different departments and cubby holes of the shop.
