Flag Book

This delightful form is made by pasting strips of paper in equal intervals to form the Flags. It is dynamic in its form, and is always a fun surprise depending on the way it is opened or handled. Different people have thought of different uses for this book. Stories, textile swatches, flip book, character sketches, colour palettes and more.
This book comes in a Dark Brown with a Dark Green Accordion spine. 21 Flags total. Size when closed : 4" by 6.5" approx.
