Idea no 2

Ok, so after considering all things I've decided to create a book on Wales history (Boys' Village, Trefil Quarry and Hetty Pit) - full of pop ups, sliding mechanisms, just to help people who will read/view it to experience something more than just 3D images (as planned on the beginning). To see how those places used to looks like years a go, and how do they like now. Book full of interaction, where viewers/readers have to discover hidden windows, pop outs etc. I also planned to do a large board with pop outs.

After trying to understand pop-outs and all pop-out mechanism I've realised that it will take ages to create it, so I've decided to do dioramas instead of pop-out boards.

I wanted to keep my book in vintage style, so I bought some stuff to make it looks old. Here are some items I bought:

Wax seal with initial M, for sealing and to give my book vintage
feel. I choose letter M to personailse it a little (Meg).
I've designed some celtic signs and shapes to decorate pages of my book, and designed 'vintage paper' texture to print it and give even more style to my book.

Handmade journal in leather cover with dragon (to made it more 'Welsh') with hand made paper to give my book vintage style, and because I quite liked an idea of printing on lovely textured paper. Size wasn't too big but I was quite happy with general feel of it.
