The March NORBAG workshop was a big hit! Margaret-Elaine Jinno taught us how to make a Telescoping Mechanism that can be used to make a book of any length. Once you have the basic principle down it is easy to keep adding "pages". While the structure does not need covers, they can be added. Some of our members also added little tabs to make it easier to move from page to page. Thank you Margaret-Elaine for teaching this workshop. Here are a few photographs of this very clever moveable structure.
