This is a book I made last semester for my surface design class. The shape on the front, and on each gray page, is Manhattan, each page features a different neighborhood of Manhattan. The name of the neighborhood is on the left side of the spread, while the Manhattan shape and embroidered neighborhood are on the right. It is bound with ribbons and there are 25 different neighborhoods. The names of the neighborhoods were applied to the fabric with a solvent transfer process. It took a really long time, originally i wanted to do all the neighborhood but i ran out of time, so there are half. I have the set of pages for the other half in my closet, hopefully i can make another book sometime.
Very cool! RM read more
