Is the author of the new book, Creating Books & Boxes: Fun and Unique Approaches to Handmade Structures. This wonderful new book is now available in all major book stores and online distributors.
Whether you’re new to book making or an experienced paper artist looking for new ideas, Creating Books & Boxes will provide you with hours of creative inspiration. Author Benjamin Rinehart covers all the basics of book and box construction, such as tools, adhesives, archival properties, cutting, and terminology, but then adds unique twists to make the book’s 11 projects surprising, fun, and dimensional.
In addition to making paper wrap-around covers and simple stitches, this book also includes detailed instructions for such finishing touches and decorative elements as paper dying, copy transfers, stamping, and paste papers.
The book’s step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, yet the projects are sophisticated and beautiful. Stitch up an accordion-style booklet, build an origamibox, create a beautiful sewn journal, make your own picture frame, or construct your uniquely shaped box structures.
