The Versatile Concertina Spine

Place: HBAC (Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center)

Come join this class of book arts enthusiasts as we explore the many possibilities of the concertina (accordion) spine. You decide: pamphlet, long, or coptic stitch; folded or board cover; double, folded, or back-to-back signatures; glue or no glue.

The Fly uses two concertinas—one for the spine and one for the pages. I used papers I painted in a wonderful Randi Parkhurst workshop for the covers. The poem was written by friend Dwight Marsh of Hastings,
Nebraska . I used InDesign for the text layout.

      I didn’t paint the fly. It came from an old “bug” scientific book and I used Photoshop to size and erase arrows and text. My paint spatters are mine. See you!
