Foldables
from Art of the Fold by Hedi Kyle
Although the simple accordion is not a complicated structure, Hedi Kyle, in her book, "The Art of the Fold," focuses on it for its versatility and endless possibilities. At a recent meeting of the Northwoods Book Arts Guild, members explored variations of this fold with results that ranged from graphic and informational to whimsical and comic. Thanks to Connie Stricks and Mary Maisch for this display of models inspired by Art of the Fold.
