I think these recycled package books are becoming my signature. I will admit they are what I tend to fall back on when I don't have any clever idea and I want to do something relatively easy.
This one is from a box of "New York Deli Style" Philly-Cheese sandwiches ready to nuke and eat. I do like the graphic. I cut the covers from the box, then lined them for strength with a really pretty pearlescent finish card stock in goldenrod. The text block is ten signatures of six sheets (12 pages) each. The binding is an exposed spine coptic binding sewn with golden yellow waxed hemp thread.
The book measures 2 1/4" x 5 1/2" x 3/4" thick. It's actually a really handy size and with enough pages to be useful.

These recycled packing books are really cute! Not a bad signature concept. ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, always a treat. WOW, I just realized what has influenced me. I have spent much of the past 24 hours making a 24 hour zine for International Zine Month. http://24hourzines.com/ My zine is called FOOD ISSUE and all the pages were originally McDonalds bags and most of the text and photos is from food packaging. Now where, subconsciously, do you think I got THAT idea. Thank you so very much Donna.
