Book of the Month Club I-Jacob's Ladder Book (Bainbridge Island, WA)
The Jacob’s Ladder artists’ book structure is borrowed from a folk toy traditionally made of blocks of wood held together with ribbons. The structure is held from one end and allowed to dangle vertically. When the block being held is tilted, the remaining blocks flip over in succession, producing a cascading visual effect. The Jacob's Ladder structure is an old one, but just as much fun and as full of amazement as it was when it was brand new. You'll use images from old books to create a two sided book whose pages flip over, using ribbons, book board, and your imagination!
