The Tangent: map book. Module 3 Chapt 10 part 1

This module has covered a lot of very interesting and useful techniques and before getting on with the main theme of Chapter 10, I wanted to revisit the themes of working with maps and extending the page. I have made a book of maps looking at contour and city maps.

Contour maps

I made a series of drawn and printed maps:

Printed Maps:

Collograph plate and string plate

I made lots of rubbings and made a flag fold book of these to avoid putting too many maps in the book:

I made a flower fold book and some origami envelopes from rubbings made with colour washes:

Printed maps:

A tea bag book:

City Maps

Pop up layer book

Origami fold book:

End piece:

Putting the book together

Cover made from map

 Cover, tag and case

I made a quick case for this book as things were prone to falling out of it!
