	Gallery Book with Sepia Photos I first saw this book about ten years ago in an exhibit at a calligraphy mini conference.		Gallery Book This has become a common book to see at conferences and art shows all over North America. It has so many possible uses and it is a great way to showcase beautiful bits of decorated paper and delicate lettering.
	Angled gallery Book These designs are not restricted to squares. This book is made from pasre decorated Arches Text Wove.		Chinese Sewing Kit This pattern is based on a traditional Chinese Sewing Kit. The kit is a great gift to make for needle workers, stamp collectors and other paper lovers. (sample by Lisa Cheung)
	Kaleido Even though I have made kaleidocycles many times, it still amazes me that they start out as one sheet of flat paper. Ranny Bogart decorated this kaleidocycle with radiating coloured pencil designs.		Kaleido The kleidocycle rotates when you gently push the triangles on the top into the centre or pull them toward the outside. The next face is revealed and you can continue rotating the form Making a kaleidocycle from striped paper (in this case with paste decorated card stock) will remind you of the kaleidoscopes you played with as a child.
	>Magic Wallet >Two pieces of bookbinding board, a few slits, a little ribbon and voila! A wallet that will amaze all for years to come.		>Magic Wallet Tuck some paper money (or a small notecard) inside, close the covers, open them back up and the money has magically transported itself under the ribbons.
	>Multi-Panel Jacob’s Ladder This structure is so fascinating, so hypnotic, that everyone wants to hold it, manipulate it, and own it.		>Square Flexagon This flexagon is a wonderful little handful of delight. It is easy to make and turns so easily that it can be quite soothing to sit and manipulate it.
	>Quatracircle Diamond My husband says that this was created in the 1200’s, when men were men and women could not draw circles, this is a simple project to add to your collection. Actually it is a variation on the square quatragon that came to me one night when I had insomnia		Quatracircle Diamond Once open, various unique shapes appear. The faces are amazing and can be embellished with stamping, lettering and decorated papers.
	>Rectangular Flexagon This form revolves around and around itself revealing four faces. It is a wonderful flexagon to use to create a special alphabet book or a fascinating birthday card.		Hexaflexagon First discovered by Arthur Stone, a graduate student at Princeton in 1939, the hexaflegon has fascinated mathematicians for decades.
			Hexa Flexagon This flexagon opens like a flower bud to reveal new faces as it flips and turns. It starts as a long strip of paper which you fold and wind to create a series of equilateral triangles
