Pamphlet stitch concertina

Made at contextart 2016
Pamphlet stitched.
Concertina.
encaustic cover
interior pages 
  • pages from a National Library Magazine (mostly chinese and japanese maps)
  • leftovers from Receipt is Acknowledged 
The paper from receipt is acknowledged just keeps on giving: it began with just scans of my mother's education department transfer paperwork from the 1970s, got added to with the dragon quote, then scans of parent's sick notes my mother had accidentally kept (Susan couldn't make it to school on Thursday because we had to pick up her aunt at the airport).
Because I did it on photoshop and i have just been printing on old 80gsm photocopying paper, it's great to fill up. and the older it gets the more complex layers it has... at some point I will stop adding to it, but for now it works beautifully.
