PIVOTING PANEL BOOK

At the July workshop Dolores Guffey will teach us a Hedi Kyle structure with four pivoting panels. A great feature of this structure is that artwork can be shown on both the front and back of the panels since they pivot, or just on the fronts if so desired. The overall structure is 16" x 6" when fully extended, and 3 1/2" x 6" when closed.

Four Pivoting Panels

Materials to bring:

• 1 piece Mi-Teintes, Fabriano, or paper of similar weight, 17" x 6" grain short (grain running the same direction as the 6" side)
• 2 pieces Mi-Teintes, Fabriano, or paper of similar weight, 7" x 6" grain short (these will be the covers for the book). Please have these papers cut ahead of time.

Artwork for your panels:

• Four rectangles 2 1/2" width x 3 1/8" high, to fit on panels, but won't cover the upper and lower pointed areas; OR four rectangles 2 1/2" wide x 4 1/4" high, which will be trimmed to cover the entire pivoting panel. Optionally, if you want to cover both sides of the panels, bring eight pieces of art in one of the two measurements you choose from above. Members who RSVP will be emailed diagrams which will show different examples of sizes and shapes for what will go on the panels.
• Artwork suggestions: your own artwork, magazine illustrations, decorative papers, rubber stamped images, collage, calligraphy. The back side of the panels can be either artwork, text describing the front art, or left blank.

• Craft knife with new blade (x-Acto, or similar cutting knife)
