The Pauper and The Kinght
8.5 x 5.5
handmade book
For Book Arts. We had to create a book based on 5 random words. To find my 5 words I opened my dictionary, closed my eyes, and went with where my finger landed.
My 5 words are
- purloin
- head
- coat of arms
- ultimatum
- partway
These words inspired me to write a story and illustrate it. Fine art is my specialty so illustrating the book was a bit difficult.
The story is about a pauper who wants to be a knight and decides to steal a coat of arms.
Below are some models I made to practice different binding techniques.
