The Shrigley

The Shrigley

Love this book structure – the Shrigley, designed by Benjamin Elbel @bookbindingoutofthebox , taught to me by Erin Fletcher of @herringbonebindery in an on-line workshop organized by @sanfranciscocenterforthebook . This version has a concertina binding and is now the home for some vintage New York City postcards. It’s really versatile, doesn’t damage your inserts.  There’s an accordian version too –  that’s the one that Erin teaches in the workshop, and here’s a picture of that:

I need more practice to tidy up my execution, but I’m hooked.
