I made this book for a girdle book swap. Our task was to do either a replica or a modern interpretation. The photo was taken by the recipient of my book vuscor - I forgot to take a picture before sending it away - doh! I like to clash old and new in my books. My line of thought went somewhat like: "I want something that mimics not only the looks, but the function of the girdle book. Where would you today want to keep a book close and ready for reference?" And I figured that the place where we usually keep written instructions close, while we are not at home in our libraries is when we carry our shopping lists. So the idea was born to create a shopping companion. This book has developed just a little away from this initial idea, and tries to incorporate and play artistically with the design elements that are present at IKEA, as well as a critical side blow at the commercial intend of getting customers into some kind of spending spree. As I said, I like to clash old and new in my books, and while addressing a up-to-date subject inside, I tried it keep it structurally close to the originals: It is bound on raised cords, the boards are extra thick, laminated from binding board and wood board outside to look like wood to about 6mm thickness, and it has a hand stitched headband on the head. (I didn't want to use wood to remind the reader of the light build design of the furniture found at IKEA, although they of course do use wood at least for some of their pieces...) The inside pages are made from IKEA ads, descriptions, and instructions and were colored using wax crayons, a lot of elbow grease to burnish the wax on the paper to a very smooth and non-sticky layer, and watercolors. Of course it also has some blank pages, and some text by me.. I don't have good images of the inside pages at the moment, but I'll have some in a few days. Just a little more patience...
Play Structure Types When you think of a children's playground, the first thing that comes to mind is the main play unit, which we refer to as the focal point play structure.
