Pop Up...

I have decided to make the book into a pop-up one. The pop-ups I plan to create will mainly be of animals. Because the book is composed of different recycled materials I have decided to incorporate the animals in the same way. The animals will be constructed from different recycled pieces of paper the same way the book is. I like the idea of having the pop-ups in a silhouette fashion.

Here are some page samples that the animal silhouettes will be made out of.

I began the process by drawing a template, in this case a deer onto thick card. Here I am carefully cutting out the shape with a craft knife.

This is the deer template, I plan to cover both sides of the card with this paisley design.

Here is the deer all decked out (:

Here are some I have done already they include two rabbits, a deer, it's antlers and a butterfly.
