It uses collaged papers and maps to show the building of the Panama Canal and the men who designed and completed it.
The topic this month was ‘Palindrome’ and I made a double concertina book to illustrate ‘A man, a plan, a canal, Panama’

I knew that I wanted to make a square flexagon for this topic, as I felt that the continuous unfolding and turning structure would work well with words and phrases that can be read both forwards and backwards.
I decided to write a palindrome poem for the flexagon, inspired by the palindrome phase ‘won’t lovers revolt now’. I used two sheets of Japanese Hosho paper for the book, writing in walnut ink.
