I have tried several times over the years to make tunnel books. They are wonderful, interactive structures that are visually appealing as well. I have not been very successful in my endeavors as my "pages" tend to warp and bend. Last month at a San Diego Book Arts Salon I met a woman who makes beautiful tunnel books and she was working on one invented by Ed Hutchins. She downloaded the directions here and I came home and did the same. Fast forward to yesterday when I finally had the time to make a tunnel book myself. Below are pictures of the results. This version of the structure has lightweight side hinges and doubled pages. In other words, no more warping! I used a roll of craft paper for the base structure and it worked beautifully. I used three pages from an old calendar to get the images, but you can use anything, or just draw your own images. I hope you will be inspired to try this project. -Gina 1. Choose images. 2. Cut and fold craft paper (8" x 30") and lay out images. 3. Cut holes in pages so you can see through the tunnel. 4. Pasted first image and cut in an oval around elements you want to keep. 5. Paste down the other images and glue side tabs together. Finished tunnel book with 4 layers of images. Top view of tunnel book. Side view of book with hinges showing.

I have been feeling some feelings lately. Like, feelings of well-being. Like, spontaneous-breaking-into-song-and-general-wonderfulness-type feelings. I know… It sounds pretty floofy, but I can’t help it. And I can’t explain it either. I do not know where the feelings came from, when they started, nor why they’ve been persisting. Maybe it’s menopause? Or some sort of hormone imbalance?...Read More »
