Art Of The Fold - Nested Accordion - Wisdom

Our leader sent out instructions from "A Binding Passion" for our next challenge (Sept 2024). As usual I didn't follow the instructions. I made something in basic paper to see how it would work and then just altered it...
size: 4"h x 3.75"w
(opens to 14.5"w)
My grey paper was cut to 14.5"w x 4"h from Canson Colorline cardstock. The yellow was Recollection 65# cardstock. The covers are 2 pieces of white cardstock adhered together and then covered with one of my geli prints done on Columbia Mills End paper. Text and design element with a Juice Up pen and colored with Posca colored pencils.

After experimenting a bit, what I realized was the thinner the folded spines were the better the yellow paper rested in it.

I made a wrap closure and added an amber oval gem.

words: WISDOM - knowledge gained by experience.

My practice sheets are not worth uploading... This piece was the only thing I felt even a little worth uploading... My brain has a real problem working this way.
