The Unseen University Cut Out Book
Current Mood: Suprised 😮
Our copies of The Unseen University Cut Out Book arrived this morning.
Yes – ‘copies’. His Nibs ordered two copies (without mentioning this to me, I might add). One copy is to be kept untouched and the other is intended to actually ‘make the model’. Only I don’t think he bargained on the sheer size of the book (176 pages – most of them actual cutouts) or the complexity of the model(s).
One thing did suprise me. There isn’t an easy way to detach individual pages from the book so that you can cut them out properly (and forget scissors – most of the cut-outs will need a very sharp craft knife and a cutting board). I appreciate that books with detachable pages probably pose a nightmare for booksellers but I’m not sure how you’re supposed to make the models properly otherwise.
