After worrying about whether the sentence-formed-from-the-third-word would remain hidden, I was pleased to see that with the new books, it seems to jump out at you -
This is because the words are printed on, not glued. The extra thickness in the folds was getting in the way. (Not something I would have realised without actually making the samples.)It looks like the only way to get a honeycomb is to glue the joined strips. But that sets off a whole new train of thought - a 3D flower structure -
... bursting into bloom ...
Little strips with slits can hold the two rows of interlocked paper together - they're tricky to fit in, though!
Here it is, done - I won't be using it for the spine of these books, but maybe another time for something else? -
One solution to having a more weighty spine is simply to use heavier paper - or even light paper folded double. I don't seem to have any green paper, but found this old poster from Jane Prophet's Conductor exhibition at the Wapping Project, cut an origami-paper sized square, folded it in half -
The cover is under development, and might simply consist of an extension of the spine.
