#ArtsyFriday

In a celebration of paper inspired by this week's Iowa Bibliophiles talk with the UICB’s legendary Tim Barrett, enjoy a glimpse into the awe inspiring A to Z: Marvels in Paper Engineering! Assembled in 2018 as a commemorative project of the Movable Book Society’s 25th anniversary, this booklet looks at the history, inspiration, and process of movable books and its connection to paper in the form of an alphabet of pop-up cards. Each engineered letter was designed by a different artist--from illuminations to abstractions and optical illusions, each letter comes to life. This beautiful pop-up alphabet was printed in a limited edition of 2,000. Here are just a few of our favorite letter designs!

Something New for Little Folk

In this book of verse by Clifton Bingham, artist A.E. Jackson created an illustration for each poem that morphed into an abstract design as you rotated the edge of the circle.
