“The Zodiac Constellations”
5.25” x 3.5” x 0.5”
Artist book (Gouache, Ink, Paper)
This handmade, one of a kind, artist book contains illustrations of all 12 zodiac constellations, from Aries to Pisces.
This book is a Flag Concertina, meaning it opens up and the illustrations, drawn and painted onto the little flags, open up in an alternating pattern as the book is opened. The cover is black paper with hand painted lettering for the title, author name, and Zodiac symbols. The end paper is a metallic mix of gold and sepia with a very pronounced texture. The flags are black pieces of paper with the illustrations on the outward facing side and the symbol of the Zodiac they’re showing on the inward facing side. The spine, so to speak, is a thick, handmade black paper with metallic gold polka dots on the outside, and some gold can still be seen when the book is closed.
Since this book’s illustrations were done by hand, this book is one of a kind.
It lays rather flat, but when opened can stand on its own, albeit at an angle, but would be best suited lying open flat on a surface or lectern. It is a handmade book and the spine, though thick, is still just paper, so it must be handled with care.
I made this artist book years ago, and even after such a long time, I still think it’s very lovely! It with be mailed in a small box with padding in a cellophane bag.
