Below is a picture of the book we will be making in our March and April classes. The “Panorama Book with Swiveling Panels” an accordion-type book structure was developed by Hedi Kyle. This is a book that will have three central pivoting panels. Six 4” x 6” portrait orientation images, three on the front and three on the back, will be displayed on the central pivoting panels. Ideas for decorating the panels include portrait orientation collages, photographs, sketches, paintings, and mixed media pieces. Suzanne Stalder-Mansur will be our teacher for this book.
