The Mythical Science Book
By Pamela S. Wood
Tempe, Arizona: Artboard Ink, Ltd / Rarehare Creations, 1998.

4.5 x 6.375" accordion structure; extends to 36".

Wood developed this book for a show on science. First came the idea of a "science book" then came the planets and then the mythical part.

Pamela Wood: "I researched the planets names and the myths attached. I really enjoyed doing the color drawings. The gold foil was part of a process that used the laser heat to transfer it to the black toner. I had to stop using it, the laser repair guy was rather miffed at me, as was my husband. Harmony prevailed, no more gold transfer.

"I have always been fond of this book, simple as it is."

"My books contain my own drawings and writing. I use designs that I have engineered to convey the best use of space for my specific idea. I combine many materials and commercial papers, as well as my own handmade papers. I use either hand lettering or laser printing. The choice depends upon which expresses my idea best. I then develop a mockup of the book for placement. After this, I proceed to use my bookbinding skills of covering the boards, gluing, folding, and sewing the final piece."
