How to Book

Title: How To Make A Peacock Gone Wire!

idea: this is a how to book on how to make a peacock, using my own personal experience and style quality, with wire and fabric.


create a peacock out of construction paper to act as a guide throughout the book, appearing on every page. More detail such as the wings and tail will be made. Tail will occassionaly fan out on different pages and the peacock will sit in different positions on pages. Blue, Green, White and Black construction paper will be used to create the body, wings, head and tail.

use Japanese or ink paintings as inspiration for background image. I will attempt to use indian ink to create a unique background for each page to create a visually pleasing environment for the peacock so he does not have to sit on a blank background page. This will hopefully give life to the pages as well as combining different elements to the book. background will be in grey scale not colored ink.

 

Added on each page will also be branches that will act as a perch for the peacock. these branches will be made out of thin string like wire of both gold or copper tinted and silver colorings.

Fabric leaves may be added onto the wire branches.
cover will be made with combination of wire, fabric, paper with the peacocks head on the front cover and the tail faned out on the back cover.

Recap: Ink background environment, with wire branches, fabric leaves in the middle ground and construction paper peacock in foreground acting as a guide throughout the how to book. Cover will have head of peacock, and back cover the fanned out tail.
