Bambakomallophobia?....the fear of cotton wool

"Peek-a-Books" tin of phobias

This is a self directed project exploring the realms of book making. Through the many book making workshops that I have attended, I have enjoyed experimenting with various binding techniques, book cloths and book formats. From small concertina books to more intricate hard back and french stitched ones I love to creatively push the boundaries of book making and applying my design work to it is exciting and rewarding. I have created a set of 8 small, "flower bomb' pop out single page books which each have exterior book cloth and typography on the front. On the theme of 'Strange Phobias' I have illustrated a varied selection of random phobias, from birds to peanut butter. Did you that 'Bambakomallophobia' is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of ones mouth? Bizarre. I have housed these books in a circular tin, perfectly fitting all 8 books.
