So, to create the pop up below takes these 7sheets of A3+ 250 gsm card, the erratic co-operation of my ancient Epson 1290, a sharp scalpel blade or two and a lot of double sided tape. If you look at the earlier posts you will see the earlier and scruffier versions.

It seems to be working OK, so will, BA strike permitting, fly out to the Bologna Book Fair this weekend and I wish I was going too!

In the midst of the usual rush to get books ready for the Bologna Children’s Book Fair next week, the biggest event in our calender, here is the first full colour version of the final pop up in One Big Fat Fish. It still needs tweaking, I’ll look at it when it comes back after all the handling it will get at the fair and assess what need changing or strengthening.
