A circular accordion book

Circle accordion book (with monkey weight) and wrapper.

Towards the end of March, I made this circular accordion book as a gift for a friend. It’s a springy structure, so my three brass monkeys areĀ sitting on the book to keep it closed. The book goes in the wrapper, shown upstage. I wrote one quotation out one side of the accordion, and balanced the message of that text with a poem on the reverse side, so that it functions rather like a dos-a-dos book.
