Gelli® Bookbinding


Today I have been experimenting with different ways to make my Gelli® mono-prints into books. I like this piano hinge binding which can be used to make an ordinary book or a zig-zag book. I like the colours and pattern on the spine. The binding uses sticks or straws slotted into alternate page hinges to hold the book together.


Here the piano hinge binding is used to make a long zig-zag book. It stretches about 2 metres!







These books are made from a single sheet of paper. Just a few cuts, no glue or binding.
