Roof Book-derived concertinas

Once I altered this book I wanted to make it again but more easily.
I photographed it and straightened all the images on photoshop.
My biggest issue with the altered book was how cleanly the cuts were (not) made. I thought by printing on lighter paper it would be easier.
I discovered my accuracy isn't that great no matter what. but this worked out quite nicely.
The front is the other book printed on a crappy Brother laser printer (so it's all pastel, not the bright primaries of the original) 
Backed with some Oscar Wilde Plays.
cut out a few  bits to have the light come through. 

measures about 7 x 15cm.











this is a similar book, just from a limited colour range (these were red in the original!). I got more ambitious with the cut outs, just to see how far I could push it. 
the answer is quite far!








That's one of my french street pieces in the background.
