I’ve got a few ideas for pop-up books, but when I run across them in in my notebook it’s not long before I remember how much work they are to construct, since I hand-cut all the pieces. I’ve been thinking about getting a die cutting machine that will cut pieces directly from Illustrator. Mary Jeanne Linford uses this fancy one to make her pop-up books. She has some nice youtube videos showing them off:
- No Dog, No: six reasons not to own a dog
- Tools, a popup about carpenters tools
- A Bainbridge ABC, a ABC book about Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Here’s a still from the tool pop-up
