Wire Edge "Numerarian" Book (Ann Arbor, MI)

The book structure you will make is an innovative and contemporary wire-edge binding that allows the versatility for creating either a traditional two dimensional book or a three dimensional sculptural piece.  A series of 4” x 4” square boards are fastened together using thin metal rods that are affixed to the edges.  Among the decorating techniques to create your “numerarian” theme will be collage, stamping, punching, drawing, and painting.  This binding makes a unique book art structure for any visual artists and is designed to hold and display a variety of art work or photographs.
