Origami Book
I made this for a contest posted on one of Jeff Vandermeer’s blogs. The contest instructions included a youtube video about how to make this. I had to fold it five or six times before I got the hang of it.
Each page has a sketch of a crow on it, and the cover says “Crow” in gold ink. The sheet of paper I used was six inches square, and the finished book is just over 1 1/4″ tall.

Here’s her origami book, with more photos on her site. [...]
