Sorry, I sort of fell behind with my blog for a while but I'm back so have no fear. So after I figure out what I wanted to carve into my book I experimented with a few different cutting techniques. I initially wanted to carve into this book in a perspectival way. In other words have each page a little longer than the previous one so that the edges of the pages together create a receding plane in space. Unfortunately that was way too difficult with my skill level. Instead I chose to cut the book in flat planes and layer them on top of each other to create depth.  Here is my first attempt with just some folded sheets of paper to create a book.  Each sheet of paper represents one plane.
