MA: Summer Accordion Fold Book

For this swap let's play the accordion. Because I'm not really musical, I'm going to just keep playing with paper. Create a collage with summer theme and incorporate an accordion fold into your piece.

If you can work out a way to send this piece naked, more power to you otherwise you're free to pop it in an envelope. There are no size limits so this could be 3 ATCs linked together into an accordion fold, a postcard, a journal page, whatever. Your accordion piece could be a little book telling a story or a work of art that unfolds to reveal a larger picture. Let your imagination run wild with this one.

Please don't send sticker slapped, rushed stuff. Take your time, be artistic and make a nice piece. You may use collage, drawing, painting, stenciling, stamping or a combination of some or all of these.

To incorporate an accordion fold into a collage, you can have the main piece fold one like this: example

or you can have a "pop up" element on top of your accordion fold similar to this: example

Here is an example of altered playing cards turned into an accordion fold book by StephieD
