Paper and Wood, 115 x 10 x 50 mm
Overview
A book for plants, to encourage growth
Background
These little paperback pamphlets are printed on waterproof paper, which means they should survive outdoors or at least a watering or two. The simple story encourages even the most remedial plants to strive for more. There was originally going to be a more complex narrative and perhaps even a range of plant books for different species at different stages of their lives. Eventually, though, I hit upon the (fairly stupid) schema used in the book:
G is for Grow
R is Row
O is for Oh…
W is for Woah!
Which is pretty silly, but made me chuckle.
Construction was mostly about figuring out which way to put the staples and whether the book needed a ‘spine’ or not. In the end, I decided to cover the stick with the book title. I figured it was more aesthetically pleasing. A heavy duty staple binds it and hot glue is osed to cover that staple with the cover.
