page folding might be something which you see quite regularly, but I find it fascinating, beautiful patterns emerge.
I spent a while looking through these fabulous old books, I love the embossing and the colours, it made me realise how books in present day are made cheaply in comparison, I guess they are now a dying breed, although I think I would still prefer to snuggle up with a book rather than a Kindle or ipad!
I came across this gorgeous book by Gladys Peto, her illustrations are stunning
As well as being a painter and illustrator of childrens books, she also designed pottery, posters, textiles and costumes.
During her designer years it was quite the thing to wear a Gladys Peto dress
wow! Wish I could be as multi talented as Gladys Peto!! Love the the books with the paper folds, I'm using maps as a material so I could do with looking at paper folding. Good finds.
