Are You Book Enough Challenge 2020 - April Theme, Machine

So many types of machines to think about and book formats to investigate. For this one I was inspired by looking at my three year old grandson’s peep through and find books and thought that a tunnel book might work. Machines and their use as labour saving tools made me think more about how machines and appliances reduced some of the work of domestic life. Making Light of Women’s Work - Machines that Changed Domestic Work is the result.



First up, the creation of the tunnel pages, images of machines that simplified or reduced the work of washing and ironing, cleaning, sewing, cooking and food preparation and storage were selected, including vintage and early electrical models.









Then the pages were assembled into accordion folds to create the tunnel book.






The front cover has a window that lifts up to allow the viewer to peep inside
